The 1972 Dolphins played the easiest schedule in NFL history. The two best teams they played that year were 8-6 (The Chiefs and the Giants) and neither qualified for the playoffs. They played ZERO playoff teams that season. Think about that for a second.

This team really is the best ever and in more ways than one. They are still the only team to win the Super Bowl and be Ranked No.1 in all 4 of the major team Rankings---Pts. Scored, Yds. Gained, Pts. Given Up, and Yds. Given Up. They were No.1 in all 4, so that adds up to only 4 total. The avg. S.B. winner adds up to 27 or 28.
@dennismumford6108 Жыл бұрын
The 2011 Giants were the worst S.B. winner ever adding up to 69. Eli Manning also led the 3rd worst ever to a S.B. win--the '07 Giants nadded up to 54. Joe Flacco and the Ravens in 2012 were the 2nd worst with a total of 55.
@dennismumford6108 Жыл бұрын
I think the '69 K.C. Chiefs were the 2nd best ever--they added up to 7. Also, sorry Tom Brady--the '01 Pats also added up to 55, so they tie the '12 Ravens for 2nd worst. One other note--Jim Kelly had 2 Bills teams in the S.B. in '91 and '93 that were OFFICIALLY Ranked 27th (next-to-last) on Defense and Kurt Warner had a Defense that gave up 426 pts. but were in the '08 S.B.

Great job Breanna. I was born in Newark, NJ in 1952. My parents moved to Miami when I was 3 yrs old. I became a DOLPHAN their first year (1968, and I was 13 yrs old) and they were absolutely awful, but it didn't matter to me because the city finally had an NFL team. When Shula signed to coach the team I knew this team would raise some hell in the league, and boy did they ever. Again, you did a fine job putting this together. It brought back memories, and although I no longer live in Florida the Miami Dolphins remain my HOME team, and I root for them every game.

What a historic deep roster this team had and truly yes with Earl Morrall a back up QB led the Dolphins to 9 or 10 of those 17 wins no team could ever do it with a back up QB which makes this feat all the more impressive.I am proud to be a Dolphins fan went to my first Dolphins home game on October 23,2022 against the Steelers was worth flying from Hilo,HI and I really enjoyed the museum that honored the greatest TEAM in NFL history they were perfect in every aspect such an unselfish group of men that sacrificed self for Team that’s why this feat may never happen again because of the astronomical salaries these players make today and most teams don’t want to risk injuries once they clinch a playoff berth and will sit their starters.Only Bill Belichick truly knows the importance of this feat is why he pushed so hard to get it and fell just short of what only the great Don Shula has accomplished.

The 1973 Miami Dolphins were better even though they lost two games. I'd love to see the 1973 Miami Dolphins vs the 1978 Pittsburgh Steelers. I'd pay anything to see that match up. In my opinion, had the Miami Dolphins defeated the Oakland Raiders in the 1974 AFC Divisional Playoff Game the Miami Dolphins would've defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game only if the Miami Dolphins had home field advantage which I think they would've. I distinctly remember Paul Warfield saying that they would've beaten the Pittsburgh Steelers because they were undefeated at home. Somebody please let me know who would've had home field advantage. I'm mentioning this because there was one play that stands out in my mind about that AFC Divisional Game between the Miami Dolphins & the Oakland Raiders was the "trapped catch" from Cliff Branch in the fourth quarter. Had the referees not blown that call the Miami Dolphins would've probably won that game. However, the Oakland Raiders played a magnificent game & Kenny "The Snake" Stabler was outstanding on that last drive. Joe Montana would've been impressed it was that good.
