However, it turned out they weren't the only footballers taking a post-big game break at the resort. During their getaway, Page Six posted a photo of the 49ers pals at the hotel bar chatting it up with NFL legend Peyton Manning. Now, Kristin is sharing exactly what the athletes were discussing. "It was great for the boys to be able to speak to him," Kristin tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview for her partnership with State Farm. "I mean, he's been there too. He's won Super Bowls, he's lost Super Bowls. So it's great advice for the guys." She continues, "Being able to cope with it, there's only so much you can do. It's kind of like anything, time heals all wounds. Moving on to the next goal and the next season is what keeps pushing these guys forward." Post-Super Bowl Friendcation! Christian McCaffrey, Olivia Culpo, Kyle and Kristin Juszczyk Hit Mexico: PHOTO Kristin also shared that for Kyle, the Mexico trip was a great opportunity for him to be with his teammates after the loss. Throughout the vacation, she says she and Kyle had the chance to relax and not have the weight of the season on their shoulders. "It's a true brotherhood over there. You are with each other every single day, and then [in the off-season] you don't see each other as much as you normally would," she says. "So it's good to just get away and block out the noise, maybe turn off social media for a few days and just be with each other and play board games and kind of just disconnect." "They are Kyle's teammates and their wives and fiancees and everyone have become family to us, which is so special," Kristin adds. "And what is so amazing about the NFL in general is all the lifelong friends that we've gained. So it's just good to be able to hang out as friends and get away from the game for a little bit."

A photo from their trip captured the couples on the beach soaking up the sun. McCaffrey sporting some dark green trunks while Culpo went for a cream-colored string bikini. Kristen paired a similar white two-piece with oversized sunglasses and dangling earrings, while her husband chose a simple red bathing suit. George sported his signature man bun and a blue swimsuit while Claire, who was the bravest in getting hip-deep into the chilly Pacific Ocean, chose a peach bikini to splash around in. The ladies also filmed a playful TikTok posted to Olivia's account about how they're holding up post-Super Bowl loss, with each mouthing along to a viral voiceover saying, "I would give the pain a 10" and promising that it hurt "really really bad."
