As the New England Patriots took the field on Saturday, they were led out with a touching tribute for one of the most legendary players in franchise history.
Typically, the players are led by three different Patriots flags, but this time, there was one with the No. 81 on it.
And it was in honor of former New England wide receiver Randy Moss, who recently revealed his cancer diagnosis earlier this month.
The team also shared a very sweet video tribute on the jumbotron prior to their first offensive drive.
He made the announcement on Instagram Live, explaining that he had surgery in Charlotte for his cancer which was located in his bile duct near his liver and spent six days in the hospital recovering.
"I just wanted y'all to see that I did bounce back, but there's a lot of people out there that is either battling cancer or has had cancer in their family that people are fighting," he said. "Things took the turn for the worst … y'all best believe your boy came through."
Moss will be undergoing chemotherapy and radiation to get him back to 100%. He announced the sale of shirts the help support Moss in his journey and you can buy them at his website.
