My story on Broncos running back Rob Lytle, who died of a heart attack in 2010 and was determined to be suffering from CTE, is in the Wednesday paper and here. It touches on the pictured book written by his son, Kelly.
What I and most with knowledge of the famous Jan. 1, 1978 AFC championship game consider to be an important point didn’t make the story: The Broncos had a touchdown pass to Jack Dolbin mistakenly ruled a trap and no-catch.
Yes, as discussed in the story, Lytle fumbled on his first-down carry from the Raiders’ 2 in the third quarter and linesman Ed Marion was incorrect when he ruled that the play was dead before Lytle lost control.
