About Miami Dolphins
Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins are a professional football team that competes in the American Football Conference (AFC) East division of the NFL. Based in Miami, Florida, the team is famous for several reasons — a big one being that they are the only team in NFL history to record a perfect season. In the 1972 season, the Dolphins went undefeated in both the regular season and the playoffs, earning a stunning record of 17-0.1
The Dolphins' fan base has long proven its loyalty, selling out its season tickets for the first time in 2022, and continuing to do so every year since.2 Their stadium, originally called Joe Robbie Stadium but now called Hard Rock Stadium, is located in Miami Gardens, Florida.3 Its large canopy roof provides shade for the stadium while leaving the field open to the sky.4
History of the Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins were created in 1966, when they became the ninth team to join the American Football League.5 Just six years after they were formed, the team would go down in history with their perfect season. That year, they won Super Bowl VII against the Washington Redskins. One of the team's most famous coaches, as well as one of the most famous coaches in NFL history, was Don Shula.5 Shula came to the Dolphins following a six-year run with the Baltimore Colts. He was the coach for the Dolphins from 1970 to 1995, when he returned following his 33rd season, at which time he became the winningest NFL head coach ever.
The Miami Dolphins have played in five Super Bowls, and have won in 1973 (VII) and 1974 (VIII).7
