FILE - Tennessee Titans guard Rodger Saffold (76) celebrates with fans after a win over the Houston Texans in an NFL football game, Sunday, Jan. 9, 2022, in Houston. Saffold, now with the Buffalo Bills, is so happy to be back practicing since recovering from rib injuries sustained in a car accident, the veteran offensive lineman doesn’t mind being used as “a dummy.” That’s the term Saffold used in explaining how Buffalo’s new offensive line coach Aaron Kromer is leaning on him to visually display various new techniques.

FILE - Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula, center, is carried off the field after his team won the NFL football Super Bowl game over Washington Redskins in Los Angeles, Jan. 14, 1973. It can be argued — and has been for decades — that a perfect record including winning a championship makes that team the best in its sport. And maybe the 1972 Miami Dolphins wouldn't have matched up with, say, the great Steelers dynasty of the later 1970s. Or the dominant 49ers of the 1980s. Or the Cowboys Triplets of the 1990s. No matter: Miami owns the only unblemished record in the Super Bowl era. (AP Photo/File)
