The Pats lost Tom Brady the first quarter of the first game on the season not to mention other key players throughout the balance of the year and ended up 11 & 5.

The 72 Dolphins lost Bob Griese the 4th week of the season and wound up going 17-0. And Bob Griese was a HoF QB.

Earl Morrall truly was the Dolphins' MVP that season.

The undefeated season would have never happened without him. It sort of made up for the Colts historic loss in Super Bowl III.

Sorta.
