Starr and Roger Staubach were very similar in that their talents were somewhat modest but they were exceptional leaders of high character who could execute the gameplan of a very demanding head coach. They also had the knack for making that back-breaking play that decided a game, recall Starr’s frozen QB sneak in 1967 and Staubach’s “Hail Mary” pass in 1975.

Off the field, both very devout Christians and humble despite their fame.

RIP Bart.

On the “hail mary” by Staubach (who was a great player, btw): the vikings defender had good position to pick it off, but Pearson managed to trip him up, maybe accidentally, and have a clear opportunity to catch the pass.
