Sean Taylor’s brother makes game-clinching INT on 14th anniversary of NFL star’s death
November 27 carries a sad meaning to the family of Sean Taylor.
The great Washington Football Team DB was murdered in 2007 on this date.
On Saturday, his younger brother, Gabe, was playing for Rice against Louisiana Tech.
As the game came down to the final seconds, Louisiana Tech threw a deep pass, and waiting to pick it off at the other end of the field was none other than Gabe Taylor.
