Stephen Gostkowski unfortunately lost his grandfather Saturday night.

He still played in Super Bowl LIII and was a major contributor in the Patriots' 13-3 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Gostkowski said he wanted to dedicate his fourth quarter field goal, which put the game away for New England, to his late grandfather.

Hopefully the championship win gave the Gostkowski family a little joy during a difficult time.
