Coaching and broadcasting legend John Madden died Tuesday morning, the NFL announced.
He was 85.
"On behalf of the entire NFL family, we extend our condolences to Virginia, Mike, Joe and their families," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement.
Madden may have been known most recently for his popular video games, but he was first a coach, going 103-32-7 with the Oakland Raiders, and capping off his career with a victory in Super Bowl XI over the Minnesota Vikings.
After stepping down from coaching after the 1978 season, he worked for CBS and became known for his partnership with Pat Summerall starting in 1981. CBS lost their NFC television rights to FOX so he and Summerall went to the upstart network and worked together through the 2001 season.
He spent his final broadcasting years with Al Michaels on Monday Night Football from 2002-2005 and Sunday Night Football from 2005- 2008.
