40 years ago, quarterback Dan Marino made his debut for the Miami Dolphins. Trailing 27-0 against the Los Angeles Raiders on Monday Night Football, Marino entered the game and promptly led a pair of touchdown drives in the 27-14 defeat.Despite the impressive debut, Marino wouldn't make his first start for another three weeks. After that, he assumed the role of Dolphins starting quarterback for the next 16 years.Credit: Mike Ferguson
