Since purchasing the New England Patriots in 1994, Robert Kraft has seen plenty of winning while overseeing the franchise.
Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers marked Kraft’s 500th game as the team owner and it couldn’t have been more fitting that his team also came away with their first victory of the season to celebrate the milestone.
In the locker room following the Patriots’ 17-14 victory, head coach Bill Belichick presented Kraft with the honorary game ball.
“I think it’s fitting that this one comes on Mr. Kraft’s 500th,” Belichick said as he handed over the ball to a round of applause by the players.
