This Date in Dolphins History...

From Sports Illustrated.

1973...Miami rushes for 266 yards in beating the Raiders 27-10 to get back to the super bowl.

2000...Lamar Smith rushes for 209 yards as the Dolphins beat the Colts for their last playoff win.

Yes, it's been that long. Miami's offensive coordinator in that game? Chan Gailey.

Watching Lamar Smith in that game was awesome. If I remember correctly, in the game following that he looked tired and was ineffectual

 

[BahamaFinFan78]

Just looked it up. 5 yards on 8 attempts against the Raiders

Just ran out of steam.

That 2000 playoff game was actually on the 30th— I knew I would have remembered if it had been on NYE or NYD.

Popped up on my feed today, but you are correct. Hard to believe it's been 20 years since Miami won a playoff game and 46 years since a championship.

I am hopeful both of those will change soon. If not this year, next. I think the expectation in 2021 will be sky high for the Dolphins.

Yeah, I remember reading that the day after the Colts game, Lamar couldn't even walk.
Needed help to get out of bed.

OMG. If you were born the day the Dolphins last won a playoff game your old enough to drink.

Good thing is now you don’t have to drink (or smoke) on game day to alleviate sorrow. Now i do those things mostly in celebration.

That was brutal. He looked shot.

Well you'd only be 20 but still, that's an insanely long time.

They had to help carry Smith onto the airplane after the game. His legs were shot. Carried it 40 times or something like that.

It was a hard 209 yards. It was on 40 attempts. Longest was 24 yards. Great effort by him, but the guy needed more time to recover.

 

[Natbonkilz]

As long as we're bringing it up. The reason we ran the ball so much as because Fiedler was 19 of 34, for 185 yards, 1 TD and 3 INTs.

Oh the game was 2001. My bad, 2000 season.

 

[BahamaFinFan78]

The entire offense that year was pretty offensive
