MIAMI — John Elway sent the text message last Sunday, knowing that the madness was about to ensue in South Florida.
So, before the San Francisco 49ers would be besieged by an onslaught of activity — media interviews, meetings and late-week game-planning for Super Bowl LIV — Elway delivered a simple message to an old friend he hoped would be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy a week later.
He wanted John Lynch to know that he had his full support. As always.
“I let him know that all of Denver’s rooting for him,” Elway said in a phone interview with Yahoo Sports earlier this week.
