Steelers-Dolphins Primetime Matchup Will Feature Celebration Of Perfect ’72 Dolphins Team

The NFL schedule makers sure did luck out ahead of the 2022 NFL regular season.

Not only does the NFL get to celebrate one of the greatest plays and games in league history on Dec. 24 between the Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field in primetime 50 years after the Immaculate Reception, the NFL will also get a chance to celebrate the Miami Dolphins’ 50th year anniversary of the 1972 undefeated team.

That celebration will feature the Pittsburgh Steelers coming into town for the celebration, which also happens to be a rematch of the 1972 AFC Championship Game, which the Dolphins won by a final of 21-17, heading to Super Bowl VII, where the Dolphins defeated the Washington Redskins 14-7, capping off the only perfect season in NFL history.
