Heaven Birthday, Earl Morrallπ―οΈ
Unsung Hero of the Undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins
After winning the 1968 NFL MVP for the Colts (playing in place of injured legend Johnny Unitas), Earl lost to the Jets in a historic upset in Super Bowl III.
In 1972, Don Shula β who had been his head coach in Baltimore β brought the 38-year-old journeyman Morrall to the #Dolphins to back up quarterback Bob Griese.
Griese broke his leg in Week 5.
Enter Morrall.
Earl guided Miami to 11 consecutive victories during its inexorable march to a perfect 17-0 season and #PhinsUp's first Super Bowl title.
Earl led the NFL in passer rating in '72 (91.0), earning the PFWA's NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award.
my family was hit with some hard news recently regarding my momβs recent PET scans. & how i process heavy things is isolation. i would be lying if i told you I havenβt deeply considered cancelling my trip in two weeks down to Hard Rock for DCC. having to put on a fake smile seems so incredibly disingenuous & difficult right now. but i need to remember the whole reason why i am doing this in the first place; for her.
if you would like to read my momβs story and help me reach my goal, the link is below.
and fuck you, cancer, from my whole heart.
