In a surprising move, Miami Dolphins’ head coach prioritized good karma over breaking an NFL record during Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. Despite being up 70-20 over the Broncos at Florida’s Hard Rock Stadium, the Dolphins decided not to go for a field goal that would have put them at a total of 73 points, one more than the Washington football team’s record of 72 points scored in a single regular-season game back in 1966. Instead, coach Mike McDaniel instructed the backup quarterback to take a knee. Although fans expressed their dissatisfaction with this decision by booing, McDaniel remained unfazed, as reported by USA Today.
McDaniel defended his choice after the game, stating that he didn’t want to “chase” a record and risk creating a negative impression. “The message I thought it would send wasn’t in line with how I view things,” he explained. “I will be fine getting second guessed by turning down NFL records. That’s fine. I am very, very OK with the decision … That’s called karma, and I’m trying to keep good karma with the Miami Dolphins.” Starting QB Tua Tagovailoa also supported the decision, emphasizing that the team wasn’t looking to humiliate their opponents. According to CBS Sports, the final score of 70 points is still historic, as it marks the fourth time in NFL history that a team has scored 70 or more points in a single game, whether regular or post-season.
