Quick Summary

Super Bowl VII, played in 1973, saw the Miami Dolphins achieve a perfect season by defeating the Washington Redskins 14-7. This victory made them the first and only team in NFL history to win every game of a modern season, including the playoffs. The Dolphins' defense was known as the "No-Name" squad, and they played with a replacement quarterback. The game was the second-lowest scoring and warmest Super Bowl on record. The Dolphins went on to win the Super Bowl again the following year.1
