Dan Marino and John Elway have been in plenty of on-field battles with Buffalo Bills legend Jim Kelly, but in Kelly's current fight, the two fellow Hall-of-Fame quarterbacks are on his side.
Kelly expects to undergo surgery this week, as the oral cancer that he staved off last year has returned and is more aggressive this time around.
Marino and Elway took to Twitter Tuesday to voice their support for the 54-year-old Kelly.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Jim Kelly and his family! There's not a stronger or tougher guy to handle this battle!!

Please say a prayer for Jim Kelly and his family. One of the strongest men I have ever been around. Stay strong and keep fighting!

Our best wishes go out to the Kellys.
