The Washington NFL franchise had the final shot at stopping the 1972 Miami Dolphins from completing the league’s only Perfect Season, but came up short with a 14-7 loss in Super Bowl VII. They did not have the same issue in 2022 when the Washington Commanders had a Monday Night Football shot at beating the formerly undefeated Philadelphia Eagles. Washington looked to take it straight at the Eagles, and they executed on both sides of the ball.
The Eagles came into the game off their bye week and were looking to smack their NFC East division rivals.
