Tom Brown, the two-sport star whose interception sealed the 1966 NFL title game for Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers, has died. He was 84.

Both the Packers and Brown's alma mater the University of Maryland announced his death on Monday. The Packers said he died last Wednesday.

Brown played six seasons in the NFL after being drafted in the second round by the Packers in 1963. He joined Green Bay the following year after playing one season of Major League Baseball with the Washington Senators.

Brown was part of Green Bay's three straight NFL title-winning teams from 1965-67 under Lombardi, starting in the secondary and playing a key role on one of the most important plays during that dynasty.

Monday

Dave Robinson was draped around Meredith, and I was screaming at the TV for Robby to get his throwing arm, when Metedith sent a floater to the back of the end zone, and into Tom Brown’s arms.

Somewhere I have a baseball card of Brown with the expansion Senators.
