Just did my research and you are right. Unitas came off the bench in Superbowl 3.

yeah... Unitas blew out his elbow in the preseason in 1968... Earl Morrall became the starter... just like in 72, when Griese went down... again it was Morrall who stepped in and saved the day... but Griese did get that super bowl start

FRISCO, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – “There will never be another one like him.” That’s how Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is remembering NFL coaching legend Don Shula, who passed away Monday morning at age 90.

Shula became a sports icon as head coach of the Miami Dolphins, where he became the winningest coach in NFL history. The Dolphins announced his passing on Twitter.

He’s known as the all-time leader in wins at 347 and for leading the only undefeated season in NFL history with the 1972 Dolphins team. He retired after the 1995 season.

Jones, who bought the Cowboys in 1989, became familiar with Shula’s legacy and praised the coach for his importance to pro football.

The man played life by the rules...God bless he and his family and friends.
