History

Historical Context

In 1972, Don Shula’s Miami Dolphins became the NFL’s only team to finish a season undefeated and untied, winning all 14 regular-season games and three playoff contests for a 17-0 record. The effort relied on 38-year-old backup Earl Morrall after Bob Griese’s injury and a “No-Name Defense” that surrendered just 171 points, prompting later teams to value veteran depth.
