Mike Curtis, a hard-hitting middle linebacker for the Baltimore Colts and two other teams over his 14-year NFL career, has died at age 77.

A ferocious hitter, Curtis cemented his legacy in a 1971 game against the Miami Dolphins when a fan came onto the field and tried to steal the game ball, only to have Curtis level him with a crushing body tackle.

Curtis was able to avenge the Colts' Super Bowl III loss two years later when they defeated the Dallas Cowboys, 16-13, in. Curtis played an important role in that game, sealing the victory with an interception late in the fourth quarter. He was selected to four Pro Bowls with the Colts before going to the expansion Seattle Seahawks in 1976 and finishing out his career with two seasons as a member of the Washington Redskins.
