Despite a remarkable pro career for the Miami Dolphins, perhaps Bob Griese is most well remembered for the glasses he wore while playing football.

Despite the mishap, he continued to play without them, relying solely on his natural vision. He was able to lead his team to a victory over the Fighting Irish. Following the game, Griese received a flood of attention and questions about how he managed to play without being able to see. His calm and composed demeanor in the face of this challenge further cemented his reputation as a skilled and resourceful quarterback. This incident became a part of Griese's football lore, showcasing his adaptability and mental toughness. It highlighted his ability to make split-second decisions and adjust his gameplay on the fly, even in less-than-ideal circumstances, such as the 1973 when he had to return from injury to help the Dolphins complete the “Perfect Season.”
