New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has come up big for one of the team’s fans.
After the stunning ending to the loss to Las Vegas in Week 15 at Allegiant Stadium, a Raiders fan crossed every line and taunted a Patriots fan.
The video went viral and reached Kraft, who decided to reach out to the fan, Jerry Edmond.
It was Edmond’s first NFL game. He won’t have to wait long for his second.
Kraft invited Edmond to this week’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Edmond accepted the invitation and will receive a customized jersey and pregame field passes to take in warmups,
Someone find me this man. I owe him a beer. Entire game this lady was chirping at him for CHEERING for the Patriots in “her” stadium. Absolute shit ending for NE & she’s up in his face. He stayed calm after seeing the worst loss ever. I know I wouldn’t. He deserves some love. pic.twitter.com/gaKuSv3YqO
