MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Legendary head coach Don Shula had a lot of luck with backup quarterbacks during his career.
The hiring of Doug Pederson as the Philadelphia Eagles’ coach stirred fond memories Monday for Shula.
Pederson was a third-string rookie quarterback who came off the bench to help Shula and the Dolphins beat the Eagles 19-14 in November 1993. The win was Shula’s 325th, breaking George Halas’ NFL record for coaching victories.
“A game that I will always remember,” Shula said in a statement.
