Sunday's game in Lambeau Field between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks will take on a special significance for the Bennett brothers.

On Wednesday, Seattle star Michael revealed he was assaulted by Las Vegas police officers following the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight. The Super Bowl XLVIII winner claimed he was assaulted for "simply being a black man in the wrong place at the wrong time".

Speaking ahead of Sunday's game, younger brother Martellus broke down in the Green Bay Packers locker room, when asked about what happened his brother.

Trying to keep composed, he revealed he plans to give his older brother a big hug when they meet on the field on Sunday.

Sometimes a hug is the best thing you can give... I dont really have the answers.

You just think 'What if?'. Two seconds this way. Two seconds that way. The whole thing is different.

For me, I'll just be happy to see my brother, because there was a chance I couldn't see him.

The Green Bay star revealed that he had to leave a team meeting, after the footage of the incident brought him to tears.

Speaking to the press in Seattle, Michael called the incident in Las Vegas "a traumatic experience".
