Braxton Berrios' girlfriend Alix Earle, Brittany Mahomes and more pay tribute to 9/11 23rd anniversary

Today marks 23 years since 9/11, one of the deadliest and most consequential attacks in human history. During the attacks, terrorists hijacked four commercial planes and crashed them into the World Trace Center in New York City and the Pentagon, which led to thousands of casualties.

Multiple wives and girlfriends of current NFL players have shared their thoughts and reflections on their Instagram Stories.

Leading the charge was Alix Earle, the girlfriend of Miami Dolphins returner Braxton Berrios, who wrote:

"Keeping everyone affected by 911 in my thoughts prayers always but especially today (heart emoji)"

Jason Garrett shares 9/11 experience on 23rd anniversary of attack

A few notable former NFL players also had things to share and discuss about 9/11 on Wednesday. One of them was former quarterback and head coach Jason Garrett, who was playing for the New York Giants at the time of the attack and coming off a Monday Night Football loss at the Denver Broncos.

He told Tony Dungy in an interview for NFL on NBC on Wednesday: (Start at 0:48)

"I'll never forget; it was a beautiful day. I got to sleep about 7:30 in the morning, and there were all these fire trucks going by our apartment. And I'm like, 'What is going on here?' And sure enough, we got a call from a good buddy of mine, (tight end and former Dallas Cowboys teammate) Eric Bjornson. And he said, 'You guys okay?'

"We're like, 'What are you talking about?' He's like, 'Turn the TV on.' ...It was just a crazy time."

Shortly after those attacks, the NFL announced that it would be postponing all Week 2 games (September 16 and 17) to the beginning of January the next year. The playoffs (including the Super Bowl) and the Pro Bowl (which at the time was played the week after the Super Bowl) were also accordingly pushed back by a week.
