I concluded that the 1973 team was even better than the undefeated 1972 team. But in drawing that conclusion, I was in no way trying to diminish the accomplishments of the 1972 team. After all, it’s the only undefeated team in NFL history.But when Imade my comparison, I didn’t make it solely for a

It’s Lee Roy Selmon. He was undoubtedly a great player, and I believe his place in Canton is warranted. But he had a relatively short career–only nine seasons. Others were just as good–many better–and they played longer. In his place, I’ve chosen Andy Robustelli 1951–1964. He was named All-NFL seven times
