Broncos Ring of Fame WR Lionel Taylor dies at 89

August 14 - By Field Level Media Lionel Taylor, a member of the Denver Broncos' Ring of Honor and the first pro receiver to make 100 receptions in a season, died on Aug. 6 at age 89, the team announced on Wednesday. Taylor also was the first Black man to hold a coordinator job in the NFL, according to NFL Films, when he served as the Los Angeles Rams' offensive coordinator in 1980 and '81. Taylor made eight appearances for the Chicago Bears in 1959 before jumping to the new American Football League in 1960 with the Broncos. He played seven years in Denver, winning first-team All-Pro honors four times and making the Pro Bowl three times. In 1960, he had an AFL-high 92 catches for 1,235 yards and 12 touchdowns in 12 games, then followed up by logging 100 receptions for 1,176 yards and four scores in 14 games the next year. Taylor topped the AFL in receptions five times during his stint with the Broncos. He concluded his playing career by playing for the Houston Oilers in 1967 and '68. In nine AFL seasons and 113 games, Taylor amassed 567 catches for 7,195 yards and 45 touchdowns. He still ranks among the Broncos' all-time top five in each of those categories as he totaled 543 catches for 6,872 yards and 44 scores for Denver. Taylor was the Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receivers coach for two Super Bowl championships in the 1970s before heading up the Rams' offense. The Broncos inducted Taylor into their Ring of Fame as part of the inaugural group in 1984.

UEFA Super Cup: Spurs let slip 2-0 lead to lose to PSG on penalties

Tottenham let slip a two-goal lead before losing a penalty shootout to Paris St Germain (PSG) in the final of the UEFA Super Cup. Spurs defenders Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero scored from set pieces to put the north London side on their way to winning the trophy, in what was manager Thomas Frank's first game in charge. However, Champions League winners PSG, who were thrashed in the Club World Cup final by Chelsea last month, produced a stunning response after Kang-in Lee pulled one back with five minutes left. PSG striker Goncalo Ramos, who was brought on in the 77th minute, forced the game to penalties after scoring a header in the fourth minute of stoppage time. The Super Cup final, played each year between the winners of the Champions League and Europa League, does not feature extra time - meaning the game went straight to spot kicks. Europa League winners Tottenham initially had the advantage when Vitinha missed PSG's first kick - but it was followed by Van de Ven and Mathys Tel failing to score their penalties. PSG, managed by Luis Enrqiue, went on to win 4-3. The PSG players poured on to the pitch in celebration, knowing they had etched their names into history as the first French side to lift the trophy. "It's incredible to win like this. This team once again showed character, even if we're not at our physical best," PSG defender Marquinhos said. "We managed to get the goals we needed through the substitutions, and in the shootout we have players who take their penalties well and a goalkeeper who helped us." Tottenham, who finished 17th in the Premier League last season, were unable to win what would have been their second trophy in 17 years - with the first one coming when they beat Manchester United in Europe's second-tier competition in May.
