One of the last photographs of Pat Bowlen was snapped as he walked off the field at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., before Super Bowl XLVIII on Feb. 2, 2014. His recently revamped Broncos had just completed the most prolific offensive season in NFL history, set a slew of team and individual records (most owned by quarterback Peyton Manning), won the franchise’s seventh AFC championship and were back on football’s biggest stage. The Broncos would go on to get drubbed by Seattle, but when the camera flashed before the game, they were on top of the world.
