The Victory Formation started after this fumble by the Giants that Herm Edwards returned. But here's what really links it to The Curse of the Orange Bowl. The handoff at the Giants game was supposed to go to Larry Csonka who was with the Buffalo Bills for a short time before returning to Miami.
"The victory formation - a kneel-down play with maximum fumble protection - became a coaching staple after Edwards' unbelievable touchdown gave the Philadelphia Eagles a victory over the Giants in November 1978. Jul 9, 2020"
Funny the first time I recall seeing it after that was in the Orange Bowl when the Dolphins came out in it, at the end of the game.
