KANSAS CITY — As the Broncos were walking up the tunnel that leads from the Arrowhead Stadium field where they had just won to the visiting locker room, head coach John Fox noticed that Robert Ayers was a few paces in front of him.
Fox yelled for Ayers’ attention, caught up to his defensive lineman and gave him a great big man hug with some encouraging and sympathic words.
Ayers learned late Saturday night that his father had died suddenly. The news shook the entire Broncos team. With a heavy heart, Ayers played in the Broncos’ 17-13 win against the Kansas City Chiefs. He had one quarterback hit and was awarded with the game ball.
