(WBAP/KLIF) — The only player from a losing team to win Super Bowl MVP is headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Chuck Howley is a Senior Choice in the Class of 2023. That category is for players who have been retired at least 25 years. Howley played on the Cowboys team with Roger Staubach that won the franchise’s first super bowl in 1971. Now, the 87-year-old is headed to Canton, Ohio, to receive a coveted Gold Jacket. Howley had two interceptions and a forced fumble when Dallas lost to Baltimore, 16-13, in Super Bowl V.
Howley had another pick and a fumble recovery a year later when the Cowboys finally broke through for their first championship. Roger Staubach was the MVP in that 24-3 win over Miami. Howley was a five-time All-Pro in 13 seasons with the Cowboys.
