Tom Dempsey passed away on Saturday at the age of 73 due to complications from the novel coronavirus, according to his family. Dempsey, who kicked for the Saints, Eagles, Rams, Oilers, and Bills over an 11-year career, contracted the virus at the Lambeth House retirement home in New Orleans, where “at least 15 residents” have died from the disease already.
Dempsey kicked for the LA Rams from 1975-1976 under Chuck Knox, helping the team to a 12-2 record in ‘75 and 10-3-1 in ‘76, reaching the NFC Championship both years.
