Introduction
The 1972 Miami Dolphins etched their names in NFL history by achieving something no other team has matched: an undefeated and untied season. Let’s dive into the remarkable journey of the Dolphins during that magical year.
The Perfect Season
- The Dolphins played 14 regular-season games (the NFL schedule was shorter at the time) and won every single one.
- They continued their dominance in the playoffs, securing three more victories.
- The Super Bowl VII victory over the Washington Redskins crowned them world champions.
The Legends
- Don Shula, the fiery head coach, led the team with unwavering determination.
- Bob Griese, the quarterback, orchestrated the offense with precision.
- Mercury Morris, one of the running backs, contributed crucial plays throughout the season.
- Larry Little, the guard, anchored the offensive line.
The Folk Tale of Champagne Toasts
- Contrary to popular belief, the annual champagne-toast gatherings to celebrate the last undefeated team’s loss simply didn’t happen.
- The truth: In 1991, when the 11-0 Washington team fell to the Dallas Cowboys, the ’72 Dolphins remained the sole perfect-season team for another year.
- Three Dolphins legends—Dick Anderson, Bob Griese, and Nick Buoniconti—celebrated by toasting with champagne in their driveway. But it was a one-time event.
- The tradition of champagne toasts after each undefeated team’s loss is more folklore than reality.
