- About this game (from Wikipedia):
Super Bowl VII was an American football game between the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Miami Dolphins and the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Washington Redskins to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 1972 season. The Dolphins defeated the Redskins by the score of 14-7, and became the first and still the only team in NFL history to complete a perfect undefeated season. They also remain the only Super Bowl team to be shut out in the second half and still win. The game was played on January 14, 1973, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, the second time the Super Bowl was played in that city. At kickoff the temperature was 84 °F (29 °C), making the game the warmest Super Bowl ever.[5]
This was the Dolphins' second Super Bowl appearance after losing Super Bowl VI. They posted an undefeated 14-0 regular season record before defeating the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs. The Redskins were making their first Super Bowl appearance after posting an 11-3 regular season record and playoff victories over the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. Despite being undefeated, the Dolphins were actually one point underdogs,[1] largely based on the weakness of their regular season schedule.[6]
Super Bowl VII was largely dominated by the Dolphins, and remains the lowest-scoring Super Bowl to date with a total of only 21 points (3 touchdown and 3 extra points). The only drama was during the final minutes of the game, in what was later known as "Garo's Gaffe".[7] Miami attempted to cap off their 17-0 perfect season with a 17-0 perfect score shutout with a 42-yard field goal by Garo Yepremian,[8] but instead the game and the season was jeopardized when his kick was blocked. Instead of falling on the loose ball, the Dolphins kicker picked it up, attempted a forward pass, but batted it in the air, and Redskins' cornerback Mike Bass (who was Garo's former teammate on the Detroit Lions years earlier) caught it and returned it 49 yards for a touchdown. This game also remains as the longest period in a Super Bowl for one team to be shut out, as Washington was held scoreless until 2:07 remained in the fourth quarter.[note 1]
Dolphins safety Jake Scott was named Most Valuable Player. He recorded two interceptions for 63 return yards, including a 55-yard return from the end zone during the 4th quarter. Scott became the second defensive player in Super Bowl history (after linebacker Chuck Howley in Super Bowl V) to earn a Super Bowl MVP. - Sport
Jake Scott, Super Bowl VII MVP and my favorite football player of all time! RIP you wild dawg!
First football I watched from beginning to end.
I'm old I watched it on tv live
Dolphins Perfect Season!!
They were a better team when they repeated the next season. I wish they would get new ownership now so Miami and Buffalo can drive Belichick the cheater into retirement. Don Shula was a great coach and had it right when he said Belichick cheats. I don't want to see Belichick break Shula's win record
You should make more of these Super Bowl Highlights
My Brother ❤️
Love the goalposts as an extra defender!😀
Redskins looked to be lined up offside on fg block. 1st punt 53 hit the ball during snap. Allen would try anything!
I was at that game - crummy seats in the endzone so I couldn't see what was happening most of the time - this highlight reel is brilliant, makes me want to watch the whole game again.
That's the LA Colesium for you. I feel sorry for USC fans. They should let USC use So Fi
Curt gowdy was excellent
7:43 - Doink!
Redskins running back Larry Brown #43 was partially deaf and had a small hearing aid built into his helmet.
Yes
Huh? What? You say something? 👂
THAT close to a 17-0 final score 😄
I can't believe there are no highlights of Fernandez stuffing Brown, seeing as that was the main theme of the game.
The Ragin' Bull
think he had 17 tackles unheard of for a defensive tackle. should have won mvp
Miami Dolphins - the only team to win a Super Bowl without scoring a point in the 2nd half
Dolphins dominated this game. The ball control offence and the no name defence were too good for the Redskins. I was 17 while watching this game and couldn't believe after the blocked field goal why Yeprieman didn't just hold onto the ball and fall to the ground. The Redskins would never have scored with Jake Scott as safety
That score was a much bigger fluke than the Ron Dixon kick return score that kept the Giants from being shut out VS the Ravens.
I panicked after that Yepremian gaff thinking that the Redskins were going to win after that fluke play.
The legendary Curt Goudy hosts this.
Pro Football Hall of Fame members.
Miami Dolphins: Don Shula, Bob Griese, Larry Csonka, Paul Warfield, Larry Little, Nick Buoniconte, Jim Langer.
Washington Redskins: George Allen, Charley Taylor, Chris Hanberger, Sonny Jurgenson.
Jake Scott was the only free safety to win Super Bowl MVP honors.
I love watching Billy Kilmer scramble with his beer gut bouncing!!
I always wondered why did Miami have two different numbers on their jerseys. Some players had the thicker number like Griese and Csonka. And others had the thinner numbers like Manny Fernandez and Paul Warfield.
Some players had stripes on the sleeves for Dolphins and some didn't
For some odd reason the Miami unis in the early '70s really did look bush league after looking great during their first four season and from '73 on.
@@DolFan316 I wouldn't say their regular unis look great today. They should go back to one of the 3 versions they had of their original unis (not the orange alternates though)
The greatest football and basketball play by play broadcaster who ever lived
At about 8:35, Al Jenkins famously shouted,
" *D***!!!* "
Literally the one thing Jenkins is known for in his NFL career, I'm not even sure he saw the field. Maybe on the kick coverage teams but that would be it.
As ugly as this win was, just ask the '07 Patriots if they would've been happy with a 14-10 win in the Super Bowl 😈
Considering the Patriots won all their Super Bowls by Slim margins, I'd say yes.
Would the Redskins have won if Sonny Jorgensen started at QB?
hail to the Redskins for ever from a dolphins fan
The Redskins blew this game.
More like the Redskins got manhandled this game.
@@donarthiazi2443 14-7?
@@drbonesshow1 ,
Absolutely. 14-7 only tells a piece of the story.
The Skins offense was totally shut down. Miami had chances to score 2 more TDs... and in any event if anyone that knows football watched the game then they would have seen the Fins dominate both sides of the ball for the entire game.
@@donarthiazi2443 You have confused this game with what happened to the Fins (as only their fins remained) the year before: Dallas 24 Dolphins 3. Enter Roger Staubach.
@@drbonesshow1
HaHaHa it would be hard to post that Miami manhandled anyone in a game they were crushed.
But they totally dominated the Skins... errr sorry _The Commanders._
A 17-0 season should have ended with a 17-0 victory in the Super Bowl. Dammit, Garo! ;-)
21-0 in my mind, the illegal procedure call erasing the TD pass to Warfield was BS. Imho of course. Were they set for a full second before the snap ? Maybe not. Yeah, good ole Garo, keeked a bunch of points for us. His attempted pass thing was brutal though🤦🏻♂️
@@michaeltaylors2456 You'd think a call that big erasing a score would have a replay, an explanation, SOMETHING. But nope, nothing to see here, move along. Just like "holding" calls on kick and punt return scores today.
I was too young to have seen this game, Bill Kilmer could move out of the pocket better than I thought, announcers laughing at the 8:24 mark....lol
Forgot how much the Dolphins were going play action and airing it out, for them anyway
Too bad it's primarily known for Garo's gaffe. It could have been 17-0 score for a perfect 17-0 season. To be fair it didn't seem like he kicked it too low the Skins just got in enough to block it. But the 'pass' attempt was ill advised. Manny Ferenadez should have been the MVP. but the Fins joked they didn't want ot give him the keys to the MVP car because his eye sight wasn't that good lol It's also interesting coaches don'tget carried off the field much anymore if at all.
Even the announcers Curt Gowdy and Al DeRogatis got this wrong as Washington didn't block Garo's kick. Bill Brundige (#77) made a hard charge that pushed Miami defensive tackle Bob Heinz (#72 and used as an offensive lineman on field goals) back. The kick was low (just like most of Garo's kicks that day) and hit Heinz in the back of the helmet. That's how the kick was blocked.
nice highlights....Die hard Redskins fan....they were a good team...but Miami won fair and square
@Coogan Redskins forever
Yepremian has his kicked accidentally blocked by his own lineman. But he's okay.
Then he tries to pass the ball and it slips out of his hand high into the air. He's still okay.
For no reason discernable to man, he bats it back up into the air. Now he's not okay.
He still could have made the tackle, but he's too wimpy. Touchdown Redskins.
The kick was blocked by the Redskins, not "his own lineman." If anything, if the kick wasn't blocked by the Redskins, it was Yepremian's fault for kicking the ball so low.
@@josephhewes3923 at 8:58 you can clearly see the ball hit the back of 72, he kicked it too low
07:40 stupidity is NFL goal post placement until 1974 smh Kilmer was playing hard then doink
I agree, the goal posts back then were a genuine health hazard.
Football was better when offensive linemen weren't allowed to block with thier hands, as seen here. A physical running game with mobile offensive linemen makes for exciting Football.
Really? Not sure how many people would call this, Super Bowl VIII or Super Bowl IX exciting. Low scoring affairs dominated by the team that won the line of scrimmage. Add in the fact that defenders could hit receivers downfield prior to the pass being thrown and the game became very one-dimensional. These types of games were the reason the NFL decided to allow o-linemen to use their hands in blocking and limit defenders to one contact with a receiver within five yards of the line of scrimmage. To each their own, but I'll take the excitement of Super Bowls XIII and XIV over any of these games.
Chris: This ex-coach realizes he's nearly all alone in his preference for rushing-based offenses. I prefer the rules from the early '70s. We're both sharing our opinions and yours would be in the majority.
@@LarryRickenbacker I like power football myself. As Bill Parcels said after SB 25, power football still wins. And in the early 70s Miami was the ultimate power team.
@@LarryRickenbacker You're not alone. I love smash mouth football.
Jake Scott was the best safety we have ever had! The original #13! Marino never won a SB or much less an mvp!
Marino was MVP in 1984.
He later played for the Redskins. Good Safety.
Billy Kilmer horrible in that game. Redskins defense kept them in it but Kilmer made some disastrous throws and panicked.
Garo was actually the one who made the disastrous throw and panicked.
This game makes the Patriots Rams Superbowl look like a seat squirmer.
Steelers-Vikings was more boring. Ravens-Giants was soul-suckingly depressing. But nobody ever talks about those games because the Dolphins weren't involved.
Here is the best story of this game. Dolphins end the season 17-0. But in the 4th quarter and a 14-0 lead Shula realizes they can go for the FG and win 17-0. if they kept handing off to Csonka they will score another TD. But Shula tries to temp fate and set up for the 42 yd fg and final score 17-0 and 17-0 season. what happens? Garo Yepremian FG is blocked and muffed by him and ran back for a TD by Mike Bass. Final score 14-7. that score seems like the game was close. Shula and Dolphins should have won 21-0
That is absolutely amazing! #53 of the Skins interferes with the long snapper as he was snapping the ball to the punter and nobody called it! Are you freakin’ kidding me here? I get it, no instant replay, but what the hell were the refs doing? Was interfering with a snap even a penalty back in the day? Then the punt returner is blown up before the ball gets to him! Let me guess, interfering with the punt catch wasn’t a penalty?This whole game is bush league compared to today. But still fun to watch.
They did call it -- an illegal procedure penalty.
@@normanlinden5786 I forgot all about my comment on this. It appears you are right, there was a penalty, and I guess I got confused by the editing of this video, it kept skipping around. But the reason that this stood out ot me is that I had seen it before in one of the earlier Super Bowls. I believe it was the Green Bay- Oakland Super Bowl where a defender reached in on the snap and the ref apparently didn't see it and that definitely wasn't called. I just can't believe that was a thing back in the day, purposefully interfering with the Center snap. It's just something that isn't seen in today's game. I watch a ton of football and I swear I can't ever remember seeing it happen in recent history, which for me is the last 20 years or so.
@@ubon11 - Curt Gowdy didn't explain it very well. He kept saying the ball slipped out of the center's hands. Gowdy was a great baseball announcer, but in his later years he really slipped badly doing football and college BB.
@@normanlinden5786 they kept saying his back injury. There were rumors that NBC staff was giving marijuana through with cigarettes or cigars.
60s football in an early 70s Superbowl. The Dolphins clung onto the jersey of Larry Czonka all the way to a perfect season, which was evidently possible back then. All you needed was a Czonka. (And a Jake Scott.) Credit to the Fins for daring to use playaction, lol: the only modern passing element I could see. Both QBs were pretty bad, evidencing a fondness for throwing picks in the endzone. You know how they used to say Tom Brady was a beneficiary of "the system"? Well, this was actually true of Griese, rather than Brady. One reads he's an HOFer; then one sees this game and wonders what the hell for. Tbh, all pre-West Coast Offense games are boring to varying degrees; otoh, we've made the game more boring by having ref reviews and more commercials, to, you know, balance out the boringness between eras. The only memorable play here was Yepremian sissy-slapping the football for whatever reason until Bass put him out of his misery and ran it the other way. Fascinating and illuminating to watch, thanks
No pre West Coast was not boring. Personally I always preferred physical football to Bill Walsh's crap. To me THAT was boring.
Everything was so simple back then. None this crap today. This is what football looks like.
Time for Redskins fans to chant "REDSKINS" at the top of their lungs, shutting down every home game until the cancel culture is defeated.
This game could have gone on for a week and the Redskins wouldn't have scored an offensive touchdown with Kilmer on the field, just like the Vikings offensive wouldn't have got to the end zone in a week against the Steelers two years later.
Hard to believe that Kilmer didn't wear a chin strap.
He got that helmet knocked off many a time.
Kilmer lost the Bowl for the Redskins
Redskins definitely had their chances in this one.
Believe it or not Washington was actually favored in this game.
@@pronkb000 SI at the time actually predicted they'd win by three scores 😲Imagine an unbeaten team going into a title game and being disrespected like that today. There's no way it would ever happen. Keep in mind the Skins lost to the Patriots during the season who the Fins had beaten 52-0.
@@DolFan316 Miami had one of the weakest schedules in pro football that year. That was before schedules were designed to create parity.
@@josephhewes3923 Still no reason to blithely predict a 3-score loss for a team coming into a Super Bowl unbeaten. That prediction was made entirely due to Shula's 0-2 SB record and Miami's performance in the previous one and completely ignored everything about the current season.
@@DolFan316 that was only based on schedules each team played. Washington's was stronger, but Miami was younger and determined to win it all after the debacle against Dallas the year before.

Redskins had many opportunities to win this game and they blew it but I still love my Redskins.HTTR.
Yeah Kilmer gave that game away.
No, Miami dominated. The Skins lone score was on a gaffe play that is probably the worst play in NFL history. Skins should not have had that score. But if you want a TD on Kilmer’s pass that hit the goal post, I’ll trade you that for Griese stupid pick in the end zone and the first half TD pass to Warfield that was called back. 28-7, Miami.
Yeah. I much different game if Sonny Jergensen was healthy enough to play.
@@robbyled Miami was held scoreless in the second half. Hardly domination.
The late Quarter #2 Kilmer interception was the most destructive blow to WASH. chances.
Miami dolphins are the goat even in 2019 New England fans keep hating
IKR? They found out winning every game in a season isn't that easy. 😈
Probably the most boring Super Bowl. Super Bowl VIII the next season isn't far behind. Both Dolphin wins, but at no time in the game did anyone honestly think the Dolphins would lose. Thw Redskins had chances, the Vikings lost before they got off of the bus. By 1977 the NFL had to open the game up. While the 70's was my favorite decade, some games were complete snoozers, and it wasn't like today, where if your game sucks you can go to another game, you were stuck. Then in the late 70s early 80s, the NFL came with the "this game sucks, you deserve better clause". If a game got out of hand they would switch to a more competitive matchup. Only thing was, the home market had stay with the home team. One season I want to say 1981 the Colts got snatched off 4 or 5 times. Thats how bad they were. No pulling the plug on the Super Bowl though. And I'm sure many of you remember the slew of BLOWOUTS that had TV executives and advertisers at odds. How can the Networks ask advertisers for millions for ads, when the games were so bad, they were getting cut off at Halftime.
Now, the games has been tinkered with so much, it makes the blowout less likely and the TV Networks can rob, errrrrrrr charge somewhat reasonable rates.
Glad you broke this game up into a 10 min production, because that was all of the meaningful play there was in this snoozefest.
Everybody says this game and Fins-Vikings was boring, but the same people never say a word about what a snoozefest Steelers-Vikings was. Go figure.
Lol first
The boring Dolphins Super Bowl
The Redskins had many opportunities to score. Too bad Kilmer was their QB.
Yeah and Sonny Jurgenson... oh nevermind, hurts too much to think about.....
Lots of today players came from this 70s team
Which ones?
Research
Curt Gowdy was one of the worst football announcers ever.
