Denver Broncos open game with 10 men in formation in tribute to late WR DT

Classy.

DENVER -- The Broncos lined up with 10 players in the formation on their first play from scrimmage Sunday in their game against the Detroit Lions to honor former wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, who was found dead this week at age 33.

On a first-and-10 from the Denver 25-yard line to open the game, the 10 players stood motionless and waited for the play clock to wind all the way down. They were assessed a delay-of-game penalty that the Lions quickly declined.
