Bob Griese was a smart quarterback. Along with Coach Shula, he always had bag of tricks up his sleave. That along with brute power up front lead this simple ball control offense like a General. Especially against the Vikings a year later. His induction into the Hall of fame is well earned. The Dolphins had some real bruisers on the offense line. Kutchenberg and Little obliterated the fast but undersized Vikings defensive line in Super Bowl viii.

[@tesla-v2681]

The Redskins weren't just another Super Bowl loser in 1972. They were an exceptionally strong team. The Skins were 11-3 and wrapped up the division early. They lost the last two games of the regular season after Allen decided to sit some starters including league MVP Larry Brown. During the playoffs Allen's defense surrendered just 6 points including a 26-3 drubbing of the defending champion Dallas Cowboys. There was legitimate reason the early odds makers had the Redskins favorite in this game. This all makes the Dolphins victory more impressive.

[@flint55]

It was too bad for the Redskins that Sonny Jurgensen was injured and not able to play. George Allen banished Sonny to his own box at the stadium and he was not on the sideline to help and give advice to Kilmer during the game. Sonny very much appreciated it when prior to the game Don Shula came up to him and told Sonny he was sorry he could not play as it would be a bettter game if he was available. Both class acts.

[@chasstone5048]

Might have to do a full game of this action..what a great game.

[@danielgolus4600]

26:33 Curt Gowdy mentions Garo Yepremian kicked over 100 points over the last two seasons. Undoubtedly a big reason the Dolphins went undefeated. But because of his late 4th quarter f-up in this SB, his teammates (and coach) treated him like sh*t afterwards. Even up to the day he died in 2015. They didn't even invite him for a 25th anniversary party in 1997. Sad.

Garo Yepremian was a top of the line Kicker! And I'll tell you a secret not many people know about in the 1972 Super Bowl. That famous Garo Yepremian pass in the 1972 SUPER BOWL, it was actually all intentional/planned. You see- the Dolphins were actually feeling bad for Washington, and it was due to the fact that it was that far along in the game and the Washington Redskins couldn't score any points. So having sympathy for the situation that the Redskins were in, the Dolphins knew it was up to the Dolphins, to help the Washington Redskins get a few points to bring their spirits in the game up, and raise their hopes in the game also. So having sympathy about it also, Don Shula told Garo Yepremian right before he was to make that one kick for points late in the game. Yes Shula told Yerpremian to instead kick the Football off of one of the Redskins players, so the Football would then bounce back to him- Yepremian (as that is how good and skilled Dolphin Football Players are at Football), and that Yepremian then catching the Football, was to act as if he was trying to pass the Football, but really to just toss the Football real easy to one of the Washington Redskins that was closest to Yepremian (so the Redskin Player would surely catch the Football and not drop it)- and so the Redskin Player could then be able to easily run in for a Redskin Touch-Down! So the Redskins would finally show they had some points on the board that late in the game, and also feel happy and hopeful, and as if they were still in the game. Not many people know about this like I said, as Dolphins being the best Team in NFL Football- they like to be humble about things like this.

Thanks for sharing that. Garo was great guy from all that I've read about him. Wish he was still with us.

[@82dorrin]

He was actually a great kicker for the era.

[@KnockOffBeingFat]

He didnt punt a lot so he thought he would have some fun too. What the hell! & still no team has ever been shut out in the Super Bowl even 49 games later.

[@fritterfoof5146]

@@Wolfwolveswolf The only plan shula had was to leave Garo out of the reunions . What a absurd comment .

[@jamestaddeo8891]

You mean the longest gain by the Redskins was two 15 yard plays?

[@scoo637]

@Jack D the Redskins almost blocked the punt at the end. That was our best chance. Disappointed Sonny missed game, but little surprised Charley Taylor did not play well. Kilmer was terrible.

[@brainscott8198]

In 55 yrs of watching football, I never saw a defensive tackle take a swipe at the ball before it's hiked @5:55...until the Washington DT did it on that first Miami punt...wow.

[@denverconrad2907]

I’m glad someone else noticed that, the commentary team even missed it after watching twice, good thing the refs noticed on the field though and called it illegal lol

[@connie_wonnie._]

I love the simple design of the 1 and 2 bar. I know the complicated designs of the helmets today are to keep the player safe. It's also cool to see some nice simple football too. Go Redskins!!!!

[@barbaraguntfat3047]

Was the Redskins coach former Los Angeles Rams coach George Allen? If so, doesn't he deserve a mention?

[@greghobbs1728]

RIP Coach Sam Wyche. Can be seen holding the clipboard as a backup to Kilmer in the first half. It was announced about 2 hours ago that he had passed away. I wasn't expecting it as I was watching to research how Miami had improved from the previous year. Shula was great, but he also had Arnsbarger, Schnellenberger, and Monty Clark. They found LT Wayne Moore on the 49ers taxi squad(hiding under the name Solomon & listed as a TE) and C Jim Langer (an undrafted free agent out of South Dakota State who had been cut by the Browns) and solidified an O-Line into the best ever. They found DE Vern DenHerder at little Central Iowa College and elevated Bob Matheson to starting LB creating a "53" D. Those 4 little changes made a big difference and gave the NFL its only undefeated champion. It should be noted that one other change was Shula learning from how Dallas had used Dwayne Thomas's speed to hurt the Dolphins in SB6 and replacing Jim Kiick (my hero who has suffered tremendously from severe football-related head trauma) in the starting lineup with Mercury Morris.

[@LeeBrasher]

That O line was not remotely close to being the best ever LMAO.

[@haroldsmyth6685]

​@@LeeBrasherah statistically it very well is. No question

17-0 will always be better than 18-1. Boo Pats! Go Dolphins!!!

Technically, It's the same exact record but hey I hate the Patriots

[@elhombrenegro4999]

LeafyLlamas no it isn't 19-0 is the same thing as 17-0 not 18-1

so cool to see marv levy on redskins sideline and sam wyche back up qb......

[@brianarbenz7206]

The Dolphins defense put on the best Super Bowl performance ever. The 14-7 score was deceptive. It was for all purposes a shut out, though Garo Yepremian's sudden career change to passer nearly ruined it all. What looked like an impressive win became a narrow escape for Miami. An imperfect win to seal a perfect season.

[@dace938]

Couldn't have done it without Earl Morrall.

[@adammwalch]

Thank you for this. This game, this team, was tremendously important to me when I was a nine year old kid. They still are. This was nostalgic, and fun. Best team ever. I was obsessed with them in 1973. Posters, trading cards...anything with Dolphins. Obsessions like that are unique to childhood, and I miss it.

[@LtAsaLay]

same here, brother!

[@pajasa62]

I was never a Miami Dolphins fan, but I feel really bad about the loss of Don Shula...God Bless him.

[@DonCohen2649]

He lived a long and beautiful life. Although he was a Republican he was a nice guy.

[@thomasstevens9551]

Damn those were the days!!! I sure do miss the United States of America.

[@michaelgutierrez5972]

Dan Marino did a great job on the Bears what '85. Larry Csonka called it an 18TH WIN on a Monday night.

[@stephendacey8761]

In my opinion the 85' Bears were the best team ever. Only weakness was their QB Jim McMahon. Defensively the best ever.

[@michaelleroy9281]

​@stephendacey8761 But then the Bears have had a quarterback problem in the over 100 years of the franchise except for Sid Luckman, no real surprise

[@alcoholfree6381]

It is very instructive to watch the SBs as they evolved. Miami played pretty good in the previous SB against Dallas but got soundly beaten 24-3. This is a more solid team led by the super amazing Czonka, Kicck, Griese, Warfield and all the others on offense. Their defense is incredible!! Undefeated is the greatest!! May no other team accomplish this feat.

[@amusement420]

If Garo makes that FG it could have been a 17-0 score to match the 17-0 Perfect season record. But Garo's Gaff is always the clip seen.

[@theredbaronlives9889]

Though unbeaten the Dolphins were 4pt dogs going into this game.Don Shula over george Allen anyday. Hard to believe this remains the only unbeaten team in NFL history an amazing achievement!

[@michaelclayton3114]

Thanks to the Giants and thanks to and thanks to the Dolphins stopping the only other unbeaten's - one more still in route -------- The 49ers !

[@reedr7142]

Pretty sure they weren’t 4.5-point favorites.

[@michaelgutierrez5972]

Yeah, if Jake Scott could have went the entire 105 yds on that 2nt int. 21-0 approximent exact and no kicker field goal attempt screw up.
