FOXBOROUGH, Massachusetts - Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still was moved to tears on Sunday night while watching a video tribute of his daughter Leah and other children battling pediatric cancer that was played on the video board inside Gillette Stadium late in Sunday's Bengals-New England Patriots game.

Still said he was unaware the Patriots were going to do that, although he said he saw a tweet earlier Sunday from NBC's Hoda Kotb about a possible video being shown. Patriots cheerleaders also wore replica No. 75 Still jerseys.

"I saw something with Hoda who tweeted out something about them playing a video. I didn't really know what they was talking about," said Still. "It definitely was touching to see that up on the board with my daughter and all those other brave kids that are fighting cancer and seeing the cheerleaders taking off the jackets and all having the jersey it put it over the top. It's amazing."

Still said he had seen a preview of the video, but never the whole thing before.

"It's very emotional," said Still. "Every time I see a video like that and get a reminder of what my daughter is going through and what those other kids are going through it's definitely hard to fight back the tears."

Patriots owner Robert Kraft also donated $25,000 in Leah's name to the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

""I didn't know he gave a donation," Still said. "That's great. It's great how everybody has been stepping up, not just from (Cincinnati), but across the country. It has just been amazing and great for the cancer community. We came here to play a football game with an opposing team, and I didn't expect them to show the support that they did today. It was amazing what they did today. It shows the fight is more than about football."
