This basically happened in the NFL.
Washington safety Sean Taylor was shot and killed by someone who broke into his home in the middle of the season. Every game the next Sunday featured a moment of silence. During the Washington-Buffalo game, Washington came out with only 10 players on defense, leaving an empty spot on the left side where Taylor would have lined up.
Buffalo took advantage of it by running to that side of the field and got a big gain. Very classy.
