50 years ago today, Chuck Hughes died during a NFL game between Detroit and Chicago.
He is the last NFL player so far to pass away during a game.

It is sad that I remember that game. I was 11 years old, but was already playing football. I loved the sport, it gave me so much. I had college scholarship offers. I also had 5-6 concussions, and now am on disability for chronic daily migraines.
I am watching the Lions right now, who just scored against the Rams, to go ahead, in the second half, no less. Don’t worry, that will change.
Have a great week.
I was in the single digit age range at the time, so this is not something i remember. I don’t even know if the game was televised, and if I was, I’m pretty sure we were not watching it.
I’m sorry about your concussions.
Rams 28, Lions 19. Loser update to follow shortly.
You have a good week as well.
