ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos closed their last practice at their suburban Denver complex before they depart for the Bay Area on Sunday with a reminder about why those who make decisions for the Broncos do what they do.
Team president/CEO Joe Ellis spoke to the team following Saturday’s practice about Broncos owner Pat Bowlen. Bowlen, who is battling Alzheimer’s Disease, stepped away from the team’s day-to-day operations in the summer of 2014. The Broncos now have a locker room full of players who may not have ever met the man who Ellis and executive vice president of football operations/general manager John Elway say is at the root of every decision the team makes.
