Bowlen was 75. Many NFL teams have released statements of condolences to the Broncos and the Bowlen family, including the Raiders, who issued this statement this afternoon.Bowlen initially purchased the Broncos along with his three siblings in 1984. Under Bowlen’s leadership, the Broncos became one of the best and most consistent teams in the AFC, and went to seven Super Bowls during his tenure as owner with a 3-4 record. Bowlen had as many Super Bowl appearances during this stretch as he did losing records. Under Bowlen, the Broncos went 334-212-1, for a .612 winning percentage, a mark which has only recently been surpassed by the Patriots and owner Robert Kraft. However, Bowlen had exhibited signs of memory loss as early as 2009, and stepped away from day-to-day operations of the team in 2010. He ceded control to Executive VP John Elway and team president Joe Ellis. Bowlen was inexplicably not inducted into the Hall of Fame during his lifetime, but will posthumously be inducted in the 2019 class in just a matter of months.Pat Bowlen leaves a legacy of success and excellence behind him. He will be remembered as one of the great owners in NFL history. Every year he predicted the Broncos would win the Super Bowl, and they made it there 20% of the time in Bowlen’s 35 years as owner. He was the first owner with 300 wins over his first 30 years with the team Bo Jackson Jersey White , and the Broncos had over 90 wins in each full decade he owned the team. So godspeed, Mr. Bowlen, and say hello to Mr. Davis for us. Titans running back Derrick Henry didn’t practice on Wednesday and landed on the injury report with a hamstring issue, but there doesn’t appear to be much risk of him missing Sunday’s game against the Raiders.Henry was back on the field Thursday as this week seems to be following a similar pattern as last week. Henry rested early in the week, got in some practice work and was 100 percent when it came time to face the Jaguars.Henry had 26 carries for 149 yards and a touchdown in that win to continue a hot streak that has moved him up to third place in rushing yards this season.“We’re believing in each other,” Henry said, via the team’s website. “We’ve been dominating the line of scrimmage throughout the game, even when it is not [working] early we stick with it and continue to make plays. I am just doing my job, focusing on the things I can do to help the team get better every week.”Keeping Henry healthy figures to be a priority for the Titans the rest of the season, which should mean some more days off during the week throughout December.
