Super Bowl VII: Miami Dolphins defeated Washington Redskins 14–7 at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California.

Super Bowl VII saw the Miami Dolphins face off against the Washington Redskins at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California. In a game dominated by defense, the Dolphins emerged victorious with a score of 14–7. The Dolphins' victory secured their place in NFL history, as they completed a perfect season with no losses, finishing with a 17-0 record. This achievement is the first and only undefeated season in the modern NFL era. The Dolphins' head coach, Don Shula, played a pivotal role in this historic win. Key contributions came from players such as quarterback Bob Griese, who managed the game effectively, and running back Larry Csonka, who provided a reliable ground attack. Miami’s defense, known as the "No-Name Defense", held the Redskins scoreless for most of the game until a late touchdown. Washington’s George Allen coached a team that struggled offensively. Despite the efforts of quarterback Billy Kilmer and wide receiver Charley Taylor, the Redskins could not penetrate the Dolphins’ defense effectively. Their only score came from an unusual play where Miami’s kicker Garo Yepremian infamously fumbled a field goal attempt that led to a touchdown for the Redskins, making the final score closer than the game suggested. The significance of this game extends beyond the final score. Miami's victory not only established them as champions but also set a standard for excellence that future teams would strive to match. The undefeated season has become a benchmark for success in professional football. This moment remains a pivotal milestone in NFL history, enshrining the 1972 Miami Dolphins as one of the greatest teams. #SuperBowlVII #MiamiDolphins #WashingtonRedskins #LosAngelesMemorialColiseum #NFLHistory #PerfectSeason #MoofLife
