Summary
Craig Morton, a former NFL quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, and Denver Broncos, passed away at age eighty-three. Morton spent eighteen years in the NFL, throwing for over ten thousand yards and eighty touchdowns. He started in Super Bowl five but lost, then backed up Roger Staubach to win Super Bowl six. After playing for the Giants, Mortons best run came with the Broncos, where he led them to three playoff berths and snagged AFC Offensive Player of the Year in 1977. He left a legacy as a tough, clutch competitor who bridged eras in pro football. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
