Ahead of the NFL 2020 schedule release Thursday night, the New Orleans Saints posted a highlight video for its fans.

Teams typically use the videos to hype up their fans for the coming schedule, and taking a few friendly shots at rivals is not uncommon.

The Saints video for this year starts out that way, but a twist comes about a minute into it.

After showing highlights of the Saints' 13-3 2019 season, the video then pivots to actions taken by the team during the coronavirus pandemic.

Referencing the team's past in dealing with adversity that doesn't involve the gridiron, the video shows deliveries of food being made to medical workers, first responders, and others working through the pandemic.

The deliveries are being made to workers in the cities of the Saints' rivals, like Chicago, Philadelphia, and even Atlanta.

The video concludes with the message, "Stay home. Stay safe. We hope to see (beat) you this fall."
