When you're playing the Patriots, you need all the help you can get to beat them, which probably explains why Steve Smith decided to wear a Yoda onesie to his press conference on Wednesday.

I'm not trying to use a Jedi mind trick on you. This actually happened.

Here's a full body view of the costume:

Although this might seem like an odd thing to wear to a press conference, it's really not.

If you think about it, the onesie makes a lot of sense, because as everyone knows, the only way to take down Emperor Belichick is to use the Force.

If Yoda is a Ravens fan, there's a good chance he'll only be thinking one thing going into Monday: "Win, the Ravens must this week."

Anyway, if you're wondering why Smith even owns a Yoda onesie, he answered that question during his press conference.

The receiver found it on Monday while he was serving as a personal shopper to under-privileged children. He then liked the onesie so much that he put it on and wore it around Target.


"It's been a few decades since I wore a onesie," Smith said, via ESPN.com. "I tried it on, so I bought it. And I thought, 'I got to use it.'"

To be honest, I don't think he's taken it off since Monday.
