ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Sunday's game in Detroit offers a bit of a homecoming for former Lion and current Broncos Team Chaplain Luther Elliss. Though he ended his NFL career in Denver, nine of his 10 years were spent in Detroit, and the Motor City will always have a special place in his heart.
"It's something I had already circled and highlighted on my game schedule, but I think as we get closer and actually arrive in Detroit and then actually walk out onto the field, the emotions will really hit me," Elliss said. "Just because when you spend the majority of your career somewhere, so much time and just passion there, to come here from last year and to have my two teams butting heads, it's going to be emotional.
