During an incredibly difficult time of mourning for the UVa football program, the @Patriots sent their team plane down to Charlottesville to help players get to the three funerals of their fallen teammates held in three different states.

Classy move by the organization 🙏 https://t.co/Zr22OifPbk

While New England is known for often being a cold, calculating and ruthless organization under Bill Belichick, this incredible gesture proves that isn't always the case. Team owner Robert Kraft is known for having a softer side and was likely behind the idea to send the team plane down to Virginia.

The Patriots may be tough and business-like on the field, but off the field the franchise still has a heart and a human side. They proved once again that dark times can bring out the best in people, even in places where it's least expected.
