The Denver Broncos paid tribute to Marshawn Kneeland with a moment of silence ahead of their ‘Thursday Night Football’ clash against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Kneeland, a defensive end for the Dallas Cowboys, was the subject of a devastating report from the team, having reportedly taken his own life.

The 24-year-old had scored his first career touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night but was dead two nights later, with police having relayed that he passed away from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after leading troopers on a chase.

The Broncos joined the Cowboys and the rest of the football community in mourning the DE’s passing before playing Vegas on Thursday night.

“I hope every stadium does this in honor,” said another.

“@nfl need to start kicking people out screaming obscenities during moments of silence. Who does that? & WHY? Tf wrong with this country?” said a third, who was probably at the game.

“Family over football. Respect to the Denver Broncos,” said a fourth.

“Complete class from the Broncos 💯,” another comment read.

Kneeland was a second-round pick by the Cowboys last year. He made 18 appearances for the NFC team before this week’s tragedy.
