Our first game:

September 2, 1966 -- Joe Auer returns the opening kickoff 95 yards for a Miami touchdown in the Dolphins' first regular-season game, but Oakland wins 23-14 at the Orange Bowl before 26,776 spectators.

Our first game:

might that make us the only team to return our very first kickoff for a touchdown???? would be interesting to find this out. Tampa has never returned a kickoff for a TD:sidelol:
