The Miami Dolphins enjoyed a day off Tuesday, but on this date 30 years ago they produced one of the most special moments in franchise history.

It was on Nov. 14, 1993 that Don Shula became the winningest coach in NFL history when the Dolphins defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 19-14, at the old Veteran Stadium.

The victory was the 325th of Shula’s career, topping the mark that Halas had set during a 40-year coaching career that spanned from 1920-67.

Shula would finish his career with 347 victories, including 274 with the Dolphins, who he coached from 1970-95. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1997.

That record-setting victory against the Eagles on Nov. 14, 1993 was nothing special in itself, but it was noteworthy beyond the record because the Dolphins had to turn to their third quarterback of the season after Scott Mitchell — starting after Dan Marino had torn his Achilles tendon a month earlier — sustained a shoulder injury in the first half.

So the quarterback who finished the game and helped the Dolphins come back from a 14-13 halftime deficit was Doug Pederson, who would become to become an NFL head coach, winning a Super Bowl title with the Philadelphia Eagles and now currently in charge of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
