Broncos owner steps down due to Alzheimer’s

DENVER — Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen is giving up control of the team as he battles Alzheimer's disease.

The team announced Wednesday that the 70-year-old Bowlen will no longer be a part of the team's daily operations. Team president Joe Ellis will take over after being named as the Broncos' chief executive officer.

The Broncos say the ownership of the team is held in a trust in hopes that one of Bowlen's children will run the team one day.

A statement from the team said: "The Broncos are very saddened that Mr. Bowlen is no longer able to be part of the team's daily operations due to his condition. We continue to offer our full support, compassion and respect to 'Mr. B,' who has faced Alzheimer's disease with such dignity and strength."

A separate statement from Bowlen's wife, Annabel, said: "Alzheimer's has taken so much from Pat, but it will never take away his love for the Denver Broncos and his sincere appreciation for the fans."

Under Bowlen's guidance, the Broncos made six Super Bowl appearances and won six AFC championships.
