Sadly, the annual tradition of “Mercury” Morris popping champagne when the final undefeated NFL team suffers its first loss of the season cannot happen again. Morris, a star on the 1972 Miami Dolphins team that remains the last to run the table, passed away on Saturday.
There are five remaining undefeated teams in the NFL after three weeks. Many fans can understand that regular division contenders Buffalo and Kansas City got off to hot starts; the Chiefs, led by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, are repeat Super Bowl champions and the Bills have one of the best quarterbacks in the league in their own right in Josh Allen.
