Supporters of the New England Patriots staged a rally at Gillette Stadium in protest against the suspension of quarterback Tom Brady by the NFL for his involvement in the deflategate scandal.
The 37-year-old was banned for four matches by the league for being generally aware that members of the Patriots' equipment staff had deflated footballs in their AFC championship win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Brady has appealed his ban, while the Patriots displayed their support with comments in the media and on their social media pages.
Four fans were arrested for staging a protest at the headquarters of the NFL two weeks ago, while 150 fans took to Gillette Stadium on Sunday to add further support to the quarterback.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will hear Brady's appeal in the near future.
