LOS ANGELES (AP) — The only full season of NFL perfection in the Super Bowl era including winning the championship occurred in 1972.

But they were underdogs to the veteran opponent led by future Hall of Fame coach George Allen. Of course, Miami also had that level of coach in Don Shula. And despite one of the most infamous plays in pro football history, the Dolphins succeeded, 14-7. The Associated Press is republishing verbatim the story of that game.
