Hall of Fame quarterback Y.A. Tittle dies at age 90.

[PhilSimms11]

Rest in peace, Y.A. Tittle (1926-2017).

 

[PhilSimms11]

Tittle never won a championship but came to personify the competitive spirit of football, thanks to an iconic photo taken by Dozier Mobley during Tittle's final season in 1964. The frame caught the then-37-year-old quarterback, who looked older than his years, after throwing an interception returned for a touchdown by Pittsburgh's Chuck Hinton. Tittle is seen kneeling in exhaustion and pain from an injured rib, blood dripping down his face from a head gash.

Never got to see him play but my dad was a big fan. Even had a couple YA Tittle football cards.
