Today it was announced that ex-Dallas Cowboys Running Back and Offensive Coordinator Dan Reeves has passed away at the age of 77. Over his eight-year career, he racked up 1990 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns, as well as 1693 receiving yards and an additional 17 touchdowns through the air. Reeves appeared in Two Super Bowls with the Cowboys, helping them secure the title over the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl VI. The Cowboys set several records at the time in this 24-3 beat down of the Dolphins, including most rushing yards (252), most first downs (23), and the fewest points allowed (3). At the time of Reeves’s retirement, he held the record for the most total Super Bowl appearances with 9, a record that has since been broken by the dynamic duo that dominated the last two decades in Bill Bellicheck and Tom Brady.
