Take a bow, Mike McDaniel, for taking a knee.Miami’s coach decided to forgo a field goal that would have allowed the Dolphins to break Washington’s record 72-point game set in 1966 against the Giants. Instead, he had his offense go into victory formation on fourth down at the Denver 27 in the final minute of their 70-20 shellacking of the Broncos on Sunday.McDaniel’s magnanimous gesture allowed the Broncos to avoid infamy to go with the insult of becoming the first team to surrender 350 yards and five touchdowns both passing and rushing in the same game.“It would have been cool,” McDaniel said of scoring more points than anyone in the 104-year history of the NFL. “But … that’s not really what I’m about.

That’s fine.”Fins fans wanted the record, loudly voicing their displeasure that the Dolphins didn’t match the all-time NFL record established by the Chicago Bears in their 73-0 wipe...
