FIRST BLACK COACH TO WIN SUPER BOWL
Tony Dungy of the Indianapolis Colts became the first African
American NFL head coach to win a Super Bowl.
The victory marked the first time a Black head coach had
reached the National Football League’s championship game,
one that featured not just one, but two Black head coaches.
Super Bowl XLI pitted Dungy and his Colts against Lovie Smith,
head coach of the Chicago Bears.
The Bears shocked the Colts with a 92-yard kick return for a
touchdown in the first 14 seconds of the game. Despite this
demoralizing start, the Colts and quarterback Peyton Manning
came back to defeat the Bears, 29-17.
It was the Colts’ first Super Bowl victory since 1971, when they
played in Baltimore.

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.

NFL’S ONLY PERFECT SEASON WAS CAPED
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.
