History

Historical Context

Don Shula’s Miami Dolphins entered the 1972 NFL season, then posted a 14-0 regular-season record and finished 17-0 after beating Washington 14-7 in Super Bowl VII on Jan 14 1973—the league’s only perfect campaign. After quarterback Bob Griese broke his ankle in week 5, veteran Earl Morrall steered the team, while Larry Csonka and Mercury Morris each rushed for over 1,000 yards.
