The Latest Breaking News from Dolphins

The Bills have had their number in recent years.

All through the years, right to his death of pneumonia, Marlin Briscoe was called, “The Quarterback,” by quarterback legend Joe Namath. They’d see each other at some NFL reunion or social get-together and Namath would greet him with something like, “Hey, how’s The Quarterback doing?”

The two-time Super Bowl champion and member of the 1972 Dolphins died Monday at the age of 76.

Marlin Briscoe, the first Black starting quarterback in professional football history and a key wide receiver on the Dolphins’ 1972 undefeated team, died on Sunday night in a hospital in Norwalk, Cal. He was 76.

The matchup is a Sunday night showdown.

He was the first black starting quarterback in professional American football.

After playing QB for the Broncos, he became a Pro Bowl receiver with the Bills and won two Super Bowls with the Dolphins. He was a receiver on the 1972 Dolphins team that finished with a perfect season.

Miami has plenty they can do in the coming years.

The top guy remains the same.
