They will have to play the game though, without one of their big contributors on special teams. Lonie Paxton, who is the team’s long snapper, will miss the playoff game so he can care for his pregnant wife.

Paxton, who hasn’t missed a game since 2003, will attend to his wife Meghan who is having life-threatening complications with her pregnancy with twins.

“He really appreciates the tremendous outpouring of support out there,” Paxton’s agent Paul Sheehy told the Denver Post.

Paxton is in his 12th season in the NFL. He spent his first nine seasons with the Patriots.
