The Madden series has generated more than $4 billion in revenue since its inception in 1988.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is urging all 32 teams to honor legendary Raiders coach and football icon John Madden at this weekend’s 16 games.
In a text, Jon Gruden wrote: “He was what football and the Raiders are all about. God Bless the Madden family.”
The Hall of Fame football coach was a winner and a Super Bowl champion, and that’s only a small part of his story.
