I suggest adding a notation under the Aircraft section on this page to note that on April 3, 2020, the Patriots team jet was used to collect a shipment of 1.4 million N95 masks from China for the protection of medical workers during the coronavirus pandemic, after several shipments meant for Massachusetts were waylaid by the federal government.
The history page even says "During this time, the Sullivan family – who had owned the Patriots since their inception". Was there such single family ownership or weren't there multiple investors at the beginning?
In terms of "owned", that undoubtedly means the "owner of record" in football terms - the person who represents the team to the league. That's usually the majority owner, but doesn't have to be. As for broad ownership early in the history, perhaps some research is in order? Let us know what you find. Tarl N. (discuss) 14:20, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
team colors
I saw the change in uniform colors from Nautical Blue to Navy Blue and New Century Silver to Silver.
I found these colors named in 2000 article (https://www.patriots.com/news/new-uniforms-unveiled-115846) and was suprised to find "navy" in the cited article, because I don't notice a change in shade in the uniform redesign. Is it actually different shades of blue and silver?

This is incorrect (probably a typo)
Scoring Stephen Gostkowski 1,755 points 2006–2019
should be
Scoring Stephen Gostkowski 1,775 points 2006–2019
Footnote 88 confirms that. If only he had kicked one more extra point. 2601:184:4602:20E0:DDC0:9A2A:1AD9:4312 (talk) 19:56, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of New England Patriots's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡07:02, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

This sentence in the 2nd-to-last paragraph in the section entitled "Franchise History" has a fundamental grammatical error--a textbook example of a dangling modifier. The sentence is this: "Driving the ball to New England's 1-yard line with under a minute to go, rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler caught a critical interception on Seattle's final offensive play that helped to seal the victory." For this sentence to make grammatical sense, Malcolm Butler would personally have had to "drive the ball to New England's 1-yard line!" When a sentence begins with a participial phrase like this, the opening phrase necessarily modifies the sentence's subject (here, "Malcolm Butler"). The sentence should be CHANGED TO THIS: "After Seattle had driven the ball to New England's 1-yard line with under a minute to go, New England rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler made a critical interception on Seattle's final offensive play that helped to seal the victory." The grammatical error is thus solved. Dbeach2 (talk) 00:28, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
