Congratulations to the 1972 Miami Dolphins, they get to drink the celebratory bottle of champagne early this year. Every NFL team has at-least one loss. "The Perfect Season" record is safe for another year.

Howard Schnellenberger, who later coached the team which won the University of Miami's first national championship in football, was an assistant coach (offense) of Don Shula's.
The Dolphins beat Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Washington, in that order in the playoffs, to win the first of two back-to-back Super Bowls.
