MIAMI — There was a moment of silence in honor of Kobe Bryant at the Super Bowl in Miami on Sunday following the death of the basketball great, his daughter Gianna, and seven other passengers in a helicopter crash in California a week ago. Prior to kickoff, players from both the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers stood at the 24-yard-line to honor Bryant, who wore the number 24 during much of his two-decade career with the Los Angeles Lakers. A photo of Bryant and his daughter was projected above the crowd at Hard Rock Stadium. Tributes have been paid to Bryant in the week leading up to Super Bowl LIV, with players reflecting on his influence during Monday’s opening night. (Reporting by Amy Tennery Editing by Toby Davis)
