The 1972 Miami Dolphins per·fect (pûr´fïkt) adj. Being entirely without fault or defect : flawless. - Webster's Dictionary

Following the 1971 NFL season, the Miami Dolphins made their first appearance in a Super Bowl (VI). The young Dolphins had posted a 10-3-1 record in the franchise's sixth year of existence, and Don Shula's second year with the team. Following a humiliating 24-3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the Super Bowl, many wondered how the players and coaches would bounce back in 1972.

No one expected what the young team accomplished in 1972. A promising campaign seemingly was lost when starting quarterback Bob Griese went down with a broken leg during just the fifth game of the season. However, the Dolphins rallied behind journeyman Earl Morrall and posted an unprecedented 17-0 record, culminated by a 14-7 victory, Griese's first full game back, over the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII. How the Dolphins accomplished perfection is no secret. Shula relied on a smash-mouth power running game, featuring an amazing trio of Larry Csonka, Jim Kiick, and Mercury Morris, and the aptly tabbed "No-Name" defense to acheive what no NFL team had ever done: an unbeaten, untied season resulting in the world championship.

Many would argue that the 1972 Dolphins are the best sports team ever; proponents would certainly point to the unblemished record to back that up statistically. As Csonka once said, "Perfection ends a lot of arguments." T may come a time when another team goes undefeated and wins the Super Bowl -- when that happens, I know their fans will take as much pride in that accomplishment as Dolphins fans take in the 1972 season.
