The decal is a black circle with a red bow tie and the initials “WVB” in large white letters above the bowtie.
The Cardinals announced that Bidwill passed away on Wednesday at 88-years-old.
Before the game, Paul Brown Stadium waited for a moment of silence to honor Bidwill.

Bidwill began a full-time role with the Cardinals in 1960 after his father bought the team in 1932, when they were known as the Chicago Cardinals.
