It is hard to believe it was almost 35 years ago. The Dallas Cowboys stormed to victory at Super Bowl XXVII in Pasadena and launched a dynasty. Nobody knew that was the case for certain at the time, but obviously a lot of people had a good idea based on how they played and were looking as a nucleus.<\/p>\n
So many lives were changed through the course of that victory in the Rose Bowl, and one of them was Steve Beuerlein\u2019s. Many Cowboys fans remember Beuerlein as the backup quarterback who Jimmy Johnson trusted in the playoffs the year prior, that is one of the more iconic elements to what comprised the 90s dynasty that the team experienced.<\/p>\n
Beuerlein was an important piece in the overall run that led to the team\u2019s first title against the Buffalo Bills and for that we are all grateful. Interestingly enough, for those unaware, Beuerlein was from right down the road of the Rose Bowl so the victory was particularly special on his end. We recently discussed this with him.<\/p>\n
These days Steve is doing what he can to help combat heart disease. He recently enrolled in Heartflow<\/a>\u2019s GAMEFILM Registry,<\/a> a program analyzing the heart health of former professional athletes. Up to 1 in 3 retired professional football players die from cardiovascular disease, yet much remains unknown about their risk. While significant progress has been made in studying and addressing brain injuries in NFL players, remarkably little attention has been given to their increased cardiovascular risk. Heartflow is committed to changing this.<\/p>\n It was interesting to learn about Heartflow\u2019s technology and hear about Steve\u2019s passion for combatting the disease all while hearing stories from the glory days.<\/p>\n Our thanks to him for the time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It is hard to believe it was almost 35 years ago.
