The QB threw a record 48 touchdown passes to lead the Dolphins to the Super Bowl. Unfortunately for Marino, that was the only NFL championship game he would play in.
The Dolphins quarterback led the franchise to the playoffs ten times, while he was selected to the Pro Bowl on nine occasions.
He was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005.
