Garo was a BIG part of the wins that team got that year, especially an OUTDOOR game in Minnesotta where his 3 early field goals allowed them to win with a late TD pass to Jimmy Mandich….and Garo’s Super Bowl ring still says PERFECT!!!

I like that Schiano can have a good laugh about it, but I’m guessing it’d be a 180 is the Bucs were down 24-3 and not up.

It was a funny sequence of events.

I’m sure Garo thinks about that play every time he looks at his championship ring.

Because of the Late Great Steve Sabol, I know that story and have watched the Garo Gaffe numerous times. That could have been the first Super Bowl shut out, and with the D the Dolphins had, if Garo had have fallen on it the score would have been 14-0 at the end of the game.
