    Do playoff games count? The Chicago Bears beat the Washington Pre-Commanders 73-0 in the 1940 NFL Championship game.

    As far as comparing it to college, Georgia Tech 222, Cumberland 0 says it all.

    I wondered why they keep saying "regular season record is 72" so that explains it.

    But 70 points is a Super Bowl era record.

    Dolphins in Superbowl contention? That offense is electric.

    I was a huge Dolphins fan as a kid and I loved Dan Marino. I'd cry when they lost.

    My fandom changed when Marino retired.

    Remember, the Dolphins did all this without Waddle, who was out with a concussion. And Cracraft, WR3, was out the entire second half. Wilson has also not played a down at RB, though with Mostert and the emergence of Achane, I wonder if Wilson ever plays another down for the Dolphins? He has decent trade value.

    Cook would’ve been a nice addition and there were rumors of them trying to trade for Jonathan Taylor but in McDaniel’s offense you can plug and play any RB and they’ll put up numbers

    I don’t think any RB is plug-N-play. The Miami RBs are lightning FAST.

    I should clarify: the RBs McDaniel specifically targets can be plugged in to play in his offense.

    As someone who grow up watching games in the Orange Bowl it has been a tough fifty years as a Fins fan. I honestly have no words other than to say it is really nice to have something to watch on Sunday that does not make me want to unalive myself. No other comment honestly.

    Correct. He was in some "consulting" position, which he left in spring of 2023.

    The usual platitudes of course, but I am guessing he and the Broncos didn't see eye to eye.

    I liked the one two years later with Quezzie running back two punts.
