The New England Patriots locker room was buzzing after the team escaped with a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in a primetime matchup on Thursday night.
And the team gave a behind-the-scenes look at the celebration that followed the victory.
The Patriots are known for a key tradition that is carried out after a win, saying "Aww Yeah" all together.
But the cameras managed to capture an emotional moment that was shared between two longtime Patriots captains.
As the team dispersed and went to their lockers, David Andrews and Matthew Slater embraced.
It was clear that this win meant so much to them after all the struggles and negativity that has followed the team this year.
Slater and Andrews are two of the longest tenured members of this current Patriots team, with Slater having joined in 2008 and Andrews signing as an undrafted free agent in 2015.
The duo won two Super Bowls together, having seen the organization at its highest. And based on what has happened this year, they have also seen it at its lowest.
While this season hasn't had many moments to celebrate, this is one that they were able to enjoy. And nobody deserved it more.
