Craig Morton, who spent 18 years in the NFL and became the first quarterback to start the Super Bowl for two franchises the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos has died. He was 83.Morton died Saturday in Mill Valley, California, the Broncos confirmed through his family.Morton is one of only four QBs to start the NFLs biggest game with two organizations. The other three Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Kurt Warner all ended up with at least one win. Morton's only Super Bowl ring came as a backup.His first Super Bowl start was in a turnover-plagued Super Bowl V to end the 1970 season a 16-13 loss by the Cowboys to the Colts. Morton threw the Cowboys first touchdown pass in a title game.Seven years later, and after an unsuccessful stint with the New York Giants, Morton led the Broncos to a matchup against his former team. He threw for 39 yards and four interceptions before getting pulled for Norris Weese in a 27-10 loss, which marked the first of four straight Super Bowl defeats for Denver.Known for his strong arm, Morton turned in a college football Hall of Fame career at California, where he played for coach Marv Levy and assistant Bill Walsh. Morton went fifth in the 1965 NFL draft to the Cowboys. Oakland also took him in the 10th round of the AFL draft.He joined a Cowboys team coached by Tom Landry that had veteran Don Meredith at QB. Morton played in four games that season. He then split time with up-and-coming Roger Staubach in 1970-71, the year the Cowboys went to their first Super Bowl.The next season, Morton and Staubach also split time at some points, even alternating every play. But ultimately, it was Staubach who took over the starting job, then led the Cowboys to the Super Bowl and a 24-3 win over Miami. Staubach was the MVP of that game and it wasnt hard to imagine the end of Mortons time in Dallas.The Cowboys dealt their backup to the Giants in 1974 for a package that included a pick Dallas would use to take defensive lineman Randy White, who became a Super Bowl MVP and Pro Football Hall of Famer.Morton struggled in New York, but enjoyed a renaissance after getting traded to Denver before the 1977 season the season that put the Broncos on the map.The veteran QB became the final piece for a Broncos team under a new coach, Red Miller, who inherited a strong defense that would become known as the Orange Crush.Morton led the Broncos to a 12-2 record and playoff wins over the Steelers and Raiders. He famously spent the week in the hospital with a hip injury before spearheading the win over rival Oakland.Four years later and after the Broncos had toyed unsuccessfully with finding his replacement Morton teamed with a new coach, his former Cowboys teammate Dan Reeves. In 1981, Morton threw for 3,195 yards and 21 TDs, both career highs (he matched his best mark in TDs).He retired after starting three games in the strike-shortened 1982 season. Denver would trade for John Elway, who supplanted Morton as the franchises most famous and revered No. 7.Morton threw for 27,908 yards over his career with 183 touchdowns and 187 interceptions. Morton ranked in the top 20 all-time in yards passing and TD passes when he retired following the 1982 season.He was voted into the Broncos Ring of Fame in 1988, along with two other standouts from that 77 team Haven Moses and Jim Turner.___AP National Writer Eddie Pells and AP Pro Football Writer Josh Dubow contributed to this report.___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

While star winger Christian Pulisic carries the "Captain America" title for USA soccer, one of his teammates carries the title of "most important player." As Pulisic grapples with a dip in form and questions regarding his attitude on the pitch, FOX Sports analysts and former USA players Stu Holden, Alexi Lalas and Maurice Edu debated whether it is Weston McKennie who is actually the heartbeat in the midfield. McKennie is coming off what some observers consider the most impressive season of his career at Juventus, which saw him land on spot No. 72 in FOX Sports' ranking of the top 100 World Cup players. After years of being written off by various managers and facing uncertain transfer windows, the midfielder from Little Elm, Texas, has cemented his place in Turin. He recently extended his contract with Juventus, signing a new deal that keeps him at the club until June 30, 2030. The Evolution Of A 'Gamer' Holden states that McKennie is no longer just a defensive workhorse; he has become a versatile offensive threat. "We talk about it so often, people write the guy off," Holden noted. "Coaches come in, they don't play him. ... No, the guy just signed a brand-new contract at Juventus. Hes showing he can score goals and create assists. He's a gamer." Edu shared a similar sentiment, noting that while there was once a debate over McKennies best position whether as a late-arriving "number eight" or a more advanced attacker the argument has now shifted to his importance for the USA. It's that versatility that put McKennie above the No. 78-ranked Pulisic. "He's an asset to this team, and to me, he's growing into being probably the most important player on this team," edu said. "Now, [Pulisic] is obviously the star. He is a difference maker when we're talking about scoring goals, winning games, advancing to that next stage. But, Weston kind of brings this whole group together." Holden was quick to try to correct Edu. "I'm just going to add that, he's not probably the most important player," Holden said of McKennie. "He is the most important player." A Team Ready To Make Noise As the United States prepares to co-host the World Cup, Lalas believes the tournament will serve as a massive "introduction" for a casual American audience that is about to enter the "soccer tent" for the first time. While Pulisic is better known, Lalas suggested that McKennies personality might actually be the more magnetic of the two. In the midst of the compare-and-contrast between the two stars, the mental makeup of the players has become a talking point. Pulisic has recently been described as "sensitive" by his own club coach, but Lalas notes that McKennie brings a different energy. "Nobody is ever going to call Weston McKennie sensitive in the best possible way," Lalas said. Better Than The Rest? Lalas didn't stop at comparing McKennie to his American teammates. In a bold assessment of McKennie's current level, Lalas placed him above some of the world's most touted stars, including AC Milan's Rafael Leo (ranked No. 71). "I do agree that Weston McKennie is better than Leo," Lalas stated. "I think he's better than all of the players in this group of five."
