Since retiring, Dungy has served as a TV sports analyst. He
is an evangelical Christian, and at one point in his coaching
career considered leaving football for the prison ministry.

Throughout his career, he has remained involved with
community service organizations.                 

On February 3, 2002, the New England Patriots shocked football
fans everywhere by defeating the heavily favored St. Louis Rams,
20-17, to take home their first Super Bowl victory.

On January 14, 1973, the Miami Dolphins achieve something
no NFL team has repeated: a perfect season. Despite a gaffe
by kicker Garo Yepremian that has earned its own place in
history, the Dolphins held on to beat Washington, 14-7,
in Super Bowl VII, capping a 17-0 season.

On December 31, 1988, the Chicago Bears defeated the
Philadelphia Eagles, 20-12, in a playoff game plagued
by a thick fog starting late in the first half.

Playing conditions at Soldier Field in Chicago become
problematic, and fans in attendance and television
viewers struggled to see the game, dubbed the "Fog
Bowl" by media.

On December 25, 1971, Garo Yepremian kicked a 37-yard field
goal in the second overtime of an AFC playoff game to give the
Miami Dolphins a 27-24 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the
longest game in NFL history.

Game time elapsed for the Christmas contest: 82 minutes and
40 seconds.

"After I kicked the ball," Yepremian told reporters, "I look up
at the sky and thank God for giving me the chance to kick it."
