Denver Broncos helmet Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports

The Denver Broncos are 5-3 and having a solid season on the field. Unfortunately, tragedy has struck off of the field.

Prominent NFL insider Adam Schefter reported on the news on Tuesday that a beloved sports editor in the Denver community passed away too soon.

“Scott Monserud, who elevated The Denver Post’s sports section into one of the most respected in the country, died Monday at the age of 69,” Schefter tweeted.

Fans reacted to the heartbreaking news on social media.

“Tragic loss! Love from the city of Denver! Go broncos!” one fan said on Twitter.
