ROBERT NEWHOUSE, THE FORMER STANDOUT FULLBACK WHO PLAYED IN THREE SUPER BOWLS FOR THE COWBOYS, DIED TUESDAY AFTER AN EXTENDED BATTLE WITH HEART DISEASE. HE WAS 64.
NEWHOUSE WAS A SECOND ROUND PICK OUT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON IN 1972, WHERE HE WOULD RUSH FOR 1,757 YARDS AS A SENIOR, A RECORD THAT STILL STANDS.
THE BRUISING FULLBACK LED THE COWBOYS IN RUSHING IN 1975, AND AMASSED JUST SHY OF 4,800 YARDS IN A 12 YEAR CAREER.
ONE OF HIS MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS CAME IN SUPER BOWL X, WHEN HE COMPLETED A HALFBACK PASS FOR THE FINAL TOUCHDOWN IN A 27-10 WIN OVER THE DENVER BRONCOS.
