Sunday brought a delirious ending to the Denver Broncos’ game against the New York Giants, and it brought to mind another fantastic finish -- the 2011 AFC playoff game that ended with Demaryius Thomas catching an 80-yard touchdown pass from Tim Tebow. The play was arguably Thomas’ singular moment in a Broncos’ uniform, and it was perhaps fitting that Sunday’s heroics came on the day the home team honored Thomas by inducting him into its Ring of Fame.
Thomas passed away in 2021 at his home in Georgia due to complications from a seizure. Shortly after his death, CPR’s Nathan Fernando Frescas spoke with Lindsay Jones, an NFL writer and editor who covered Thomas throughout his career. Jones said Thomas’ impact went far beyond the football field.
