72 Dolphins

The most overated football team in NFL history. They didn’t have to play the Cowboys, Raiders, or Packers that season. All three teams would have whooped up on them.

During the regular season, they played only two teams with winning records and those teams were 8-6.

Their win-loss record of their regular seasonopponents

66-113.

Good team, but NOT great.

All they did was beat the teams (Washington, Pittsburgh) that beat the Cowboys and Raiders.

For three straight years the Dolphins went to the Superbowl. They won two of them. Their combined record for those years including playoffs was 44-6-1. They were 8-1 in the playoffs.

The team was built by Joe Robbie, the owner and hated cheapskate. Five of six future hall of famers were already on the team by the time Shula got there. Shula was also recruited by Robbie. He broke league rules to get him and gave him part ownership.

And yet, season after season, every one of those teams gets beaten by someone it should have beaten. The Patriots made it dramatic, but when the dust settled, they weren't only not the greatest team of all time, they weren't even the greatest team that season.
