Mr. Blanda was known for his toughness, versatility and longevity,
surviving 26 seasons and 340 games in the NFL as a quarterback and a
kicker. That's five more years than any other player in history. In 1975,
at the age of 48, he retired as the league's all-time leading scorer, and
he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1981.
"George's multitalented flair for the dramatic highlighted the excitement
of pro football during an important period of growth for our sport,"
Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a prepared statement.

In his last game, Mr. Blanda kicked a 41-yard field goal and made an extra
point in a 16-10 loss to Pittsburgh in the 1975 AFC Championship Game.
When he retired after the 1975 season, he held the pro scoring record of
2,002 points, since broken by kickers Gary Anderson and Morten Andersen.
Mr. Blanda also passed for 26,920 yards but held the record for
interceptions (277) until Brett Favre passed him in 2007.
Mr. Blanda also set marks for most career field-goal attempts (637) and
most points after touchdowns made and attempted (943 of 959).
