One of the all-time greats.

Also one of the main reasons that the "Black and Blue Division" got the name.

One of two Hall of Fame (HOF) receivers for the Cowboys to catch a TD pass in SB VI. All together, they had 5 HOFers on offense. Can anyone name the other four?

Dallas also had five HOFers on Defense and one on the bench for a total of eleven.

Despite Da Bears beating the Pats in the 1986 Super Bowl, I’ve always been a fan of the class act. RIP

Iron Mike was one of only two men to win a Super Bowl as a player, assistant coach, and head coach.

RIP Mike.
I actually lived in his house in Illinois when he first played for the Bears. A few souvenirs left there….and Joe Marconi lived across the street then. I was told they had some rip-roaring parties in that basement. There was evidence. 🤣

I wonder how many people know that Ditka also played basketball in college and was very good.
