Each week during the preseason, football historian Barry Shuck will teach us something about the team the Giants are facing. This week, the Miami Dolphins.
Every season in the National Football League (NFL), when one or more club has garnered a successful run of victories and find themselves undefeated deep into the season, sportscasters are quick to reference the NFL’s only undefeated and untied team in history: the 1972 Miami Dolphins.
And for good reason. The ’72 Dolphins did what no other NFL team has ever accomplished – finished the year without any losses and zero ties.
