Except the 72 team had to go to Pittsburg to win a playoff game.
Not saying the undefeated team wasn't great. But, most historians would agree the '73 team were the more dominant team, even tho they lost two games. SB VIII rout over a good Vikings team would bare that out, imo.
If not for a fg kicker trying to throw a pass. The 72 team would be the only team in 50 plus years to shutout a team in the Super Bowl.

I don't really care what fox sports says. You're record is what you're record is. If the cheats went 19-0 that is better than 17-0.
I've seen that more than a few times. Never gets old! Always thought the '73 Dolphins were a better team than the undefeated '72 team. '72 team played no team better than 8-6 in the regular season and if I remember, the '73 team set an NFL record allowing the fewest points. Csonka went over 1,000 and Morris was close. And the complete domination of Minnesota in SB VIII is icing on the cake. Kicked their a$$. I was 7 and I remember that win like it was yesterday. Great memories!
