John Elway and Pat Bowlen were one of the most iconic QB-owner pairings in NFL history. Bowlen, along with his sisters, purchased the Broncos franchise in 1984 — a year later Denver forced the league-altering trade with all the then-Baltimore Colts to obtain Elway. The two then proceeded to unite for five Super Bowl appearances and 2 championships during Elway’s Hall of Fame career on the area, and then added an addition Super Bowl title in 2015 when Elway oversaw the team within an exec. Bowlen died Thursday at age 75 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease, three years later that previous name, and three years later Elway dedicated the win to his longtime friend and mentor by announcing”This one’s for Pat!” Elway paid his respects to Bowlen Friday. “Pat gave me and he was someone that I always looked around,” Elway said in a statement Friday morning. “He gave this team everything we had to be the very best and compete for championships, and also the attention was always on soccer. That is everything you can ask for in an owner — yet he did more. He was a tremendous mentor and a tremendous friend. Pat was a great listener, always asking what was happening, and I heard so much from observing him. He had been a leader. Whether things were going right or things were not going right, he would always allow you to know what we needed to get better. “He did a fantastic job of applying pressure at the appropriate times but always trusted his football people to make the proper decisions. Aside from his loved ones, nothing meant more to Pat than ensuring that the Denver Broncos were powerful. What he did for this group, this city and the entire NFL will not be matched. His shoes won’t ever be filled. “I will miss Pat greatly and will always cherish the times we had together. We are going to continue to look after his group as if he were here today. My deepest sympathies are with Annabel and also the total Bowlen family.” Bowlen will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame with the 2019 course this August at Canton, Ohio.
