Patriots to honor memory of Sandy Hook shooting victims

Share

The New England Patriots will honor the victims of Friday's tragic Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting during Sunday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Patriots will wear a decal on their helmets during the game, and also send up 26 flares, one at a time, during a moment of silence before the game.

The 26 flares represent 26 lives lost in the shooting.

The team tweeted a picture of the decal Sunday morning:
