Indeed. That he put up those numbers, in that era, is truly amazing.

Especially when you review the stats on other Don Shula quarterbacks, specifically Griese.

You want a chuckle, review his passing stats from the Super Bowl against the Redskins....

I saw an article last year about the most overrated NFL teams of all time, and that 1972 Miami team was at the top of the list -- which is pretty amazing when you consider they went 17-0.

I had no idea how average that team actually was. What I found most amazing (and pretty strong evidence that they were a very overrated team) was that they were undefeated through the regular season and through two playoff games, yet they were UNDERDOGS in that Super Bowl game against the Redskins!
