Broncos Honor Demaryius Thomas, Start Game With 10 Players on Field

The Broncos honored former wide receiver Demaryius Thomas on Sunday by lining up with 10 players for their first offensive snap against the Lions.

Detroit declined the penalty on Sunday before the Broncos once again lined up for 1st-and-10.

Thomas was found dead in his home by Roswell, Ga. police on Thursday evening. His family told the Associated Press they believe his death was caused by a seizure, something he had suffered from "for over a year."

"We are devastated and completely heartbroken by the sudden, tragic passing of Demaryius Thomas," the Broncos said in a statement Friday.
