SAN FRANCISCO -- DeMarcus Ware finds himself in a reflective mood these days.
That happens when it takes 11 seasons to reach a milestone you were convinced would happen much sooner in your career.
Ware's chance to capture an elusive title comes Sunday afternoon when he lines up for the Denver Broncos against the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. He relishes the moment, yet can't help but think of the friends, teammates and missed opportunities he left behind after spending the first nine seasons of his career with the Cowboys.
"Is this bittersweet?" Ware said, repeating the question.
