The 1972 Miami Dolphins achieved perfection – going 14-0 in the regular season before a 3-0 playoff run and a Super Bowl. It's a feat that no other team has been able to reach and every year, when the last undefeated team finally chalks up a loss, those 1972 Dolphins get together for a champagne toast.
1972 was the first of back-to-back Super Bowls for legendary Miami Dolphins head coach Don Shula. Despite extraordinary success with Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino, those two championships remain the only Super Bowl titles in the storied franchise's trophy case. Four decades later, the Miami Dolphins and their devoted fans are ready for a return to the top of the mountain.
A Changing of the Guard
Following a disappointing 2011 season under Tony Sparano, the Miami Dolphins brought in former Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin and drafted Ryan Tannehill with the 8th overall pick in the draft. Tannehill won the starting job in training camp and showed serious potential in his rookie campaign. Alongside Andrew Luck of the Indianapolis Colts, the Seahawks' Russell Wilson and RGIII of the Washington Redskins, Ryan Tannehill is a big part of the reason pundits are talking about the 2012 QB class as one of the greatest of all time.
With WR Mike Wallace coming over from the Pittsburgh Steelers to stretch opposing defenses and a rebuilt roster loaded with talent, the Miami Dolphins are a threat in the AFC East dominated by the New England Patriots for much of the last decade.
