NFL Honors Kobe Bryant At Super Bowl LIV

Ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl LIV matchup pitting the Chiefs against the 49ers, the NFL paid tribute to Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and the other eight people who died suddenly last week in a helicopter crash.

The respective teams lined up at the 24-yard-line in honor Bryant for a moment of silence.

A number of players also paid tribute to Bryant before the game.

On Wednesday at the league's annual pre-Super Bowl press conference, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell discussed the death of Bryant.

“I don’t think just Los Angeles is mourning the loss of Kobe Bryant,” Goodell said, before sharing his own memories of the late NBA legend.
