Scott was was the most valuable player in the Super Bowl that completed the Miami Dolphins’ 1972 perfect season.
Former teammate Dick Anderson says Scott died Thursday in Atlanta after a fall down a stairway that left him in a coma.
Scott played in three consecutive Super Bowls, won back-to-back championship rings and made the Pro Bowl five years in a row with Miami.
He had two interceptions, including a 55-yard return from the end zone, against the Redskins as the ’72 Dolphins won to finish 17-0.
