Many NFL fans will never forget the death of Detroit Lions wide receiver Chuck Hughes on October 24, 1971. Hughes, who had been in the league since 1967, died of a heart attack near the end of a Lions-Chicago Bears game in Detroit. He collapsed at the Bears' 15-yard line while on his way back to the huddle. He was later pronounced dead at the age of 28.
Chicago won the game 28-23.
Hughes, whose family had a history of heart problems, is the only NFL player to die during a game. In his honor, Detroit retired his number (85) and began issuing the Chuck Hughes Award annually to the Lions' most improved player.
