49ers win an emotional one for Tony York

The San Francisco 49ers beat the Denver Broncos in a game that had some emotional undertones. Tony York, brother of Jed and son of Denise and John passed away over the weekend. Jed was at Sunday’s game, and Kyle Shanahan gave him a game ball in the postgame locker room.

York spoke after he was given the ball, and you can tell he was fighting to keep it together. Details have not been released as to Tony’s death, but given what Jed had to say, clearly it was a shock to the family. Jed had a few words for the team before they broke it down.
