Keith Lincoln, a star of the San Diego Chargers in their early years, whose sensational performance in the 1963 American Football League championship led them to the only title in their history, died on Saturday in a hospital in Pullman, Wash. He was 80.
His son Lance said the cause was congestive heart failure.
Lincoln was a slashing running back and talented receiver who in 1963 had the best of his three seasons with the Chargers, who had drafted him out of Washington State University.
The Chargers were an elite franchise in the A.
