"And this year is going to be the 25th anniversary of the 17-0 team, the only undefeated season"

Don Shula's quote is describing the Miami Dolphins' 1972 season, in which they became the only NFL team to ever finish a season with a perfect record of 17-0. This year marks the 25th anniversary of that historical season, and it is a turning point that is still commemorated by Dolphins fans today. The 1972 Dolphins group was led by famous coach Don Shula, and included Hall of Fame players such as Larry Csonka, Bob Griese, and Paul Warfield. The group was understood for its strong defense, which allowed the fewest points in the NFL that season. The Dolphins went on to win Super Bowl VII that year, cementing their place in NFL history. The 25th anniversary of the 1972 Dolphins' undefeated season is a tip of the group's greatness and a celebration of the tradition of Don Shula and his players.
