Classy on all sides: Broncos pay Tribute to Demaryius Thomas

[Hapless Bills Fan]

Lined up 10 men on their opening play, with the “X” position empty

Let the clock tick down to 0

Lions declined the “delay of game” penalty

Apparently Fangio reached out to Dan Campbell and he agreed to it.  Makes me think a little better of the “Knee Biter”

I love to see things like that. A great reminder that it's not always just a business. Such a shame to lose someone that young.

Didn't that happen when we played the Redskins after Sean Taylor's death only we ran a play for big yards? LOL

If it did, then a key piece was missing: the part about one HC calling the other before the game and getting his agreement to it.

We ran for 22 yards with Fred Jackson. There was reports of them doing it leading up to the game. Surprised the coaches didn't work something out.

I don't know if it was discussed before hand. The HC was Dick Jauron ... I would like to think that he would've taken a delay of game had he known.
