Some sad football news to pass along. Former NFL tight end Frank Wycheck, best remembered for scoring the touchdown in the “Music City Miracle,” has died. He was 52.
Wycheck’s family issued a statement confirming the news Sunday afternoon.
Wycheck died at his home on Saturday. Per the release, it’s believed he fell and hit his head during the morning. He was not found until the afternoon.
Though not a Steeler, he has plenty of ties to Pennsylvania. Born on the Eastern side of the state in Philadelphia, he played his college ball at Maryland before becoming a sixth round pick of the Washington Redskins in 1993.
