Fans had some strong opinons.

The New England Patriots treated fans to an incredible rendition of the national anthem on Sunday.

New England is hosting the Houston Texans at their Gillette Stadium in a bid to make it to their first AFC Championship Game since the Tom Brady era.

Fran Rogers performed the anthem ahead of kickoff and left quite an impression, as did Drake Maye’s wife.

Check him out below:

Everyone agreed that the performance was remarkable.

“@Patriots singer for the National Anthem absolutely K*LLED IT!!👏👏👏👏” one fan shared.

“Bro I have chills from that national anthem. Gillette Stadium is ROCKING,” another comment read.

“I have never commented on a national anthem before but the Texans/Patriots anthem was unbelievable, kudos to that singer,” a user admitted.

“Wow! What an National Anthem! @Patriots,” someone else posted.

Rogers is a Rhode Island native but now lives in Franklin, Massachusetts. A lifelong Patriots fan, he is a regular fixture at local sports teams.

The soloist has been singing the national anthem ahead of Boston Celtics and Red Sox games. He is also no stranger to Gillette Stadium.

“The crowds around here are always so incredible and just so fun to sing for. Growing up as part of that fanbase and part of that crowd, being able to do this now is cool,” he said, per Diario AS.

It’s safe to assume he’s always welcome.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
