The Denver Broncos will commemorate the life span of owner Pat Bowlen . Broncos president and CEO Joe Ellis announced Monday that the players will use a”Mr. B” decal to honor Bowlen this year.
Among the most successful owners in NFL history, both on and off Bowlen died Thursday after a lengthy fight.
Bowlen will be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August.
“it is a miserable moment. There’s no question about it. It’s been a tough few days,” Ellis said Monday. “But we are eager to carry on for Pat and we’re excited to celebrate his induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August in Canton and then we’ll do a few things during the regular year, of course, to honor him, as well.”
In addition to the decal, the Broncos will hold a brief tribute before the group’s first home game on Sept. 15, and again at a pre-planned moment before a mid-October match versus the Tennessee Titans for the two Bowlen and fellow Hall of Famer Champ Bailey.
