The Broncos are honoring six-time Olympic champion swimmer Amy Van Dyken-Rouen Sunday at the AFC championship game against the New England Patriots at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
Van Dyken-Rouen, wife of former Broncos punter and two-time Super Bowl champion Tom Rouen, will be honored as the Broncos Country Hero, the team said.
Van Dyken-Rouen posted to her Twitter account that she was extremely excited.
