A couple of other firsts occured during that first AFL game…. The first points ever scored in both Patriot and AFL History were by Gino Cappelletti with a 37 yard field goal in the first quarter. Gino, a receiver and place kicker, went on to become the all-time leading scorer in the AFL accumulating 1130 points in an eleven year career.
