About the Book


In 1972, the Miami Dolphins became the first and only team in NFL history to play an entire season undefeated and untied, winning 14 regular season games, two playoff games and Super Bowl VII.

No one expected what the young team would go on to accomplish in 1972. Led by coach Don Shula and key players Bob Griese, Earl Morrall, and Larry Csonka, the ‘72 Dolphins team was inexperienced as a whole. Not to mention the previous season, they were the first team in Super Bowl history not to score a single touchdown.

But the grueling preseason training and the unique leadership of Shula took them one game at a time to victory. The season, which culminated in a 14-7 victory over the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII, was full of ups and downs, and the team struggled to maintain its nearly perfect level of play throughout, especially after starting quarterback Griese broke his leg during the fifth game of the season.

The legend has endured, season after season, as no team has accomplished what the Dolphins were able to forty years ago. Packed with never-been-told details as well as new insights from players and coaches, Undefeated is the unique and often surprising story of this team, this unbelievable season, and this benchmark moment in football history.
