Denver To Honor Demarcus Ware As His 2 Former Teams Go Head-To-Head

DENVER (CBS4) - The Broncos will honor former Denver linebacker Demarcus Ware on Sunday at Mile High.

Ware will take part in the coin toss before the game against the Dallas Cowboys, a team Ware also played for during his impressive NFL career.

He spent nine seasons in Dallas followed by three here in Denver, so the logical question is: Who will he be rooting for Sunday afternoon?

"This week, it's going to be split a little bit," he told reporters on Thursday. "I'll be on the sideline ... (a reporter asks 'Which sideline?') ... on the 50 yard line in the middle. (a reporter asks 'What color will you have on?') ...I'll have on blue. Both teams have blue, so I'm 50-50 when it comes to that."

"I will have a D on. But you will not know which D it stands for."

Ware, a nine-time Pro Bowl selection, helped lead the Broncos to their Super Bowl 50 victory over the Carolina Panthers, and ranks eighth all-time in the NFL in sacks. He announced his retirement in March and is currently doing some analyst work for NFL Network.

The Broncos will also give fans a chance to give Ware a cheer when he comes on the field during in a break in the action in the first half.
