Patriots team plane flies UVA football players to teammates' funerals

With no need to travel for a game this weekend, the New England Patriots are using their team plane for a good cause.

According to WPRI.com, the Patriots lent the plane to University of Virginia football players and staff so they could attend the funerals of three teammates who passed away on Nov. 13. Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D’Sean Perry were shot and killed on a charter bus on Nov. 13 after returning home from a class trip.

A fourth Cavaliers player, Mike Hollins, was shot but was discharged from the hospital earlier this week.
