A Dolphins legend’s advice for stopping the Steelers? ‘Borrow Minnesota's defense’

Manny Fernandez lives in Georgia, so he doesn’t see much Dolphins football.

But Fernandez, who had an absurd 17 tackles in Super Bowl VII to cap the Dolphins’ 1972 perfect season, caught their last two games. And as one of best defensive tackles of his era, he kind of wishes he didn’t.

“They're going to have to play a lot better then they did the last two weeks or they’re going to get beat,” Fernandez told the Miami Herald. “You just can't give up 500-plus yards every week and expect to win.”

There’s no better way to put it.
