Dolphins' Unbeaten Record Safe: Vikings Lose!
2 Nov
Summary
- Vikings' loss ends their undefeated season, preserving Dolphins' streak.
- Larry Csonka celebrates 54 years of the 1972 Dolphins' perfect record.
- Patriots in 2007 and Chiefs in 2024 also failed to match Dolphins.
The Minnesota Vikings' recent loss on Sunday has preserved the legendary undefeated record of the 1972 Miami Dolphins. This outcome means another NFL season will conclude without a team matching the Dolphins' historic 17-0 regular and postseason performance.
Larry Csonka, a prominent member of that 1972 Dolphins squad, marked the occasion. He shared a celebratory image on social media, raising a glass and holding a cigar, accompanied by his Super Bowl ring. Csonka also posted a similar tribute in 2024 when the Chiefs' unbeaten streak ended.
The 1972 Dolphins achieved what remains arguably the league's most unbreakable record. Csonka was instrumental, leading the team in rushing with 1,117 yards and scoring six touchdowns. The closest challengers to this mark include the 2007 New England Patriots, who entered Super Bowl XLII undefeated but were defeated by the New York Giants, and the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024.
