Champ Kind Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (Reuters) - Doug Buffone, a linebacker who played 14 seasons for the National Football League's Chicago Bears before retiring in 1980 as the franchise's all-time leader in games played, died on Monday at the age of 70, the team said. Buffone, a fourth-round draft pick whose 24 interceptions remain the most in club history for a linebacker, was found dead in his Chicago home, the coroner's office said. "Today is a sad day for Bears nation," former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher posted on Twitter. Doug Buffone will be missed." Buffone played in 186 games for the Bears, making 1,257 tackles and going over the 100-tackle mark in seven seasons.
