Answer to Yesterday's Trivia Question

When the Miami Dolphins went 17-0 in 1972, I was living in Miami and lucky enough to attend all of the home games. We thought the season was finished with Deacon Jones put a hit on Bob Griese that broke his leg and ended his season. (Almost) Earl Morrell, who had played for Don Shula in Baltimore, came in and led the Dolphins to that most remarkable record that is still celebrated each year when all teams have lost a game. Whereas Bob Griese did return to start the Super Bowl, Earl Morrell was named MVP that year...and he well deserved it!
