Death cause:
The Denver Broncos paid tribute to late wide receiver Demaryius Thomas by sending only 10 players out for the first play from scrimmage in a Week 14 game against the Detroit Lions.
News of Thomas’ death broke late Thursday night, and the Broncos confirmed the reports shortly thereafter with a statement. Denver got a delay of game penalty with 10 men on the field, and the Lions opted to decline the penalty.
Cause of Death:
Ahead of Sunday’s win against the Detroit Lions, the Denver Broncos paid tribute to a franchise great gone far too soon.
In honor of Pro Bowl receiver Demaryius Thomas, who unexpectedly passed away last week at the age of 33, the Broncos offense took the field after receiving the opening kickoff with only 10 men in the huddle, leaving vacant the “X” receiver position Thomas held down for eight seasons.
The crowd erupted into applause and chants of “DT” as the game clock ticked down to zero while players from both teams stood pat and paid their respects. The Broncos incurred a delay of game penalty for the gesture which Detroit quickly declined.
Car Crash:
Shortly thereafter, wideout Courtland Sutton — Denver’s current X receiver — jogged from the sidelines and joined his team in the huddle to signal the official start of the game. Sunday’s opening play was one of several tributes the organization implemented in Thomas’ memory, which included a No. 88 decal on Denver’s sideline and player helmets, as well as a video tribute prior to the signing of the National Anthem.
