There will always be those who insist that luck shouldn’t be part of the conversation when we’re talking about our favorite football team. Good teams, they say, make their own luck, create their own opportunities and select good players. And while it’s certainly hard to argue with that assessment, let’s face it: no team that ever won a championship, in any sport, did so while having bad luck. Virtually the entire Miami Dolphins’ offensive line (three of five starters) was wiped out in mid 2013, because their first choice at offensive tackle in the 2012 draft, Georgia’s Cordy Glenn, was snapped up by the Buffalo Bills with the 41st overall pick in the second round that year, leaving Miami with the next best guy on the board, Stanford’s Jonathan Martin, whom they chose with the 42nd pick.
