With the sad passing of Denver Broncos legendary owner Pat Bowlen at the age of 75 after a decade-long battle with Alzheimer’s, people from around the NFL community are reacting to the news. From fellow owners, to league commissions, and former players, are waking up to the sad news of this loss.
Paul Tagliabue, who was NFL Commissioner for 17 years and worked extensively with Bowlen throughout his time as Commish, called Bowlen one of the top five owners in NFL history.
“Pat Bowlen and I spent a great deal of time together during my 17 years as Commissioner,” Tagliabue said.
