Adam Joseph Duhe (born November 27, 1955) is a former American football linebacker who played eight seasons for the Miami Dolphins from 1977 to 1984 in the National Football League.
Duhe played college football at Louisiana State University and was drafted in the first round of the 1977 NFL Draft and was the UPI AFL-AFC Rookie of the Year in his rookie year. He was a one time Pro Bowler in 1984. Duhe was often injured in his career and was released prior to the 1985 season.
Duhe is probably best remembered by the Dolphins for his performance in the 1983 (1982 season) AFC Championship Game against the New York Jets. The game was known as the Mud Bowl, with the field doused in water and mud after a heavy rainstorm, leaving the field in awful conditions. At halftime, the score was 0-0. A.J. Duhe put on his greatest performance ever by intercepting three of Jets QB Richard Todd's five interceptions, returning one 35 yards for a TD in the fourth quarter, clinching the 1982 AFC Title for the Dolphins by a score of 14-0, and sending Miami into Super Bowl XVII.
Played the Cleveland linebacker in the 1988 movie Everybody's All-American
