Peyton Manning and DeMarcus Ware were choked up on Saturday before addressing their Denver Broncos' teammates on the eve of Super Bowl 50.

"Both were very emotional and near tears," team president Joe Ellis told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.

 

Manning didn't say whether the game would be his last in the NFL.

"Peyton told a few jokes to lighten the mood," Ellis said, "but then he got very emotional [when talking about what the game meant to him]. And so did DeMarcus. The room was silent. It was a very emotional gathering."
