Throwback Thursday: Mike Bass Remembers His Friendship With Super Bowl VII Foe Garo Yepremian

For today's Throwback Thursday moment presented by SUBWAY® restaurants, Redskins.com spoke with Mike Bass about his links to former Dolphins kicker Garo Yepremian.

Redskins cornerback Mike Bass and Dolphins kicker Garo Yepremian will be forever linked in Super Bowl lore.

That’s because of the bizarre sequence in Super Bowl VII on Jan. 14, 1973, when Yepremian clumsily batted the ball in the air after a blocked field goal, and Bass caught it and ran 49 yards for a touchdown.

The score cut Miami’s lead to seven with two minutes to play.
