Skelton called the winning TD in Super Bowl 23 and, in the NFL Films production, the camera focuses on his signal.

74 is waaaaaaay too young. I'm sorry for his family and friends.

He is also infamous in Oklahoma for calling an unsportsmanlike foul on the boomer schooner for driving on the field while time was still in.
