• Cross led the Dolphins in sacks five times during his eight seasons with the team.

• Between 1985 and 1995, the Dolphins had a player reach double digits in sacks in a season four times; Cross had three of those seasons.

• Duhe is tied with Patrick Surtain for 27th in franchise history for most games for a defensive player with 108. 

• Duhe's seven sacks in 1977 trail only the eight recorded by Bill Stanfill in 1969 and Lorenzo Bromell in 1998 for most by a Dolphins rookie.

• Duhe is the only rookie to ever lead the Dolphins in sacks in a season.

• Duhe remains the only player in NFL history with at least three interceptions and a pick-six in a conference championship game, which he did in the 14-0 victory against the New York Jets in the 1982 AFC title game.
