It's the season for giving, and few gave back to the community quite like Myra Kraft. So it was only fitting that after the Patriots rallied for a win over the Dolphins on Christmas Eve, head coach Bill Belichick presented Robert Kraft with the game ball in his late wife's honor.

The Patriots' official Twitter account tweeted a photo of the heartwarming moment on Sunday, which shows an emotional Robert Kraft accepting Belichick's generous gift. Myra Kraft died on July 20 at the age of 68 after a battle with cancer.

New England showed a lot of fight on the field on Saturday, coming back from a 17-0 deficit to secure a 27-24 victory. In many ways, it was a perfect tribute to a special woman.
