‘I knew today that I was going to score’: Devin McCourty shared why Sunday’s ‘My Cleats My Cause’ game was special to him

Sunday was a special day for Devin McCourty.

The Patriots’ captain scored his third career touchdown on a scoop-and-score after teammate Cody Davis blocked Chargers kicker Michael Badgley’s 59-yard field goal attempt as part of the team’s 45-0 win.

However, the touchdown was only part of McCourty’s special day. This week is “My Cause, My Cleats” week in the NFL, a week in which players can wear cleats to highlight special causes they support.

For this season’s “My Cause, My Cleats” game, McCourty decided to represent a cause that’s close to him. McCourty and his wife, Michelle, lost their third child, Mia, in May due to a pregnancy that resulted in a stillbirth.
