1973 Super Bowl VII 7 Ticket Stub Miami Dolphins Washington Redskins Don Shula

Description: 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, winning their first Super Bowl, and became the first and still the only team in modern NFL history to complete a perfect undefeated season.[4] They also remain the only Super Bowl champion to win despite having been shut out in the second half of the game. 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.[5] Super Bowl VII Miami Dolphins (AFC) (14–0)Washington Redskins (NFC) (11–3) 147 Head coach: Don ShulaHead coach: George Allen 1234Total MIA770014 WAS00077 Date January 14, 1973 Stadium Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, California MVP Jake Scott, safety Favorite Redskins by 3[1] Referee Tom Bell Attendance 90,182[2] Hall of Famers Dolphins: Don Shula (head coach), Bobby Beathard (personnel administrator), Nick Buoniconti, Larry Csonka, Bob Griese, Jim Langer, Larry Little, Paul Warfield Redskins: George Allen (head coach), Chris Hanburger, Sonny Jurgensen, Charley Taylor Ceremonies National anthem Little Angels of Holy Angels Church, Chicago Coin toss Tom Bell Halftime show Woody Herman, Andy Williams and the Michigan Marching Band TV in the United States Network NBC Announcers Curt Gowdy, Al DeRogatis, and Bill Enis Nielsen ratings 42.7 (est. 53.32 million viewers)[3] Market share 72 Cost of 30-second commercial $88,000 Radio in the United States Network NBC Radio Announcers Jim Simpson and Kyle Rote ← VISuper BowlVIII → This was the Dolphins' second Super Bowl appearance; they had lost Super Bowl VI to Dallas the previous year. The Dolphins posted an undefeated 14–0 regular season record before defeating the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs. The Redskins were making what would be the first of five Super Bowl appearances in a 20-year period, after posting an 11–3 regular season record and playoff victories over the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys. .[6] Despite being undefeated, the Dolphins were actually one-point underdogs,[7] largely based on the weakness of their regular season schedule (and losing the previous Super Bowl).[8] Super Bowl VII was largely dominated by the Dolphins, and is the second-lowest-scoring Super Bowl to date with a total of only 21 points (three touchdowns and three extra points), behind only the 13–3 score of Super Bowl LIII. The only real drama occurred during the final minutes of the game, in what was later known as "Garo's Gaffe".[9] Miami attempted to cap their 17–0 perfect season with a 17–0 shutout by means of a 42-yard field goal by Garo Yepremian,[10] 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 Yepremian's former teammate on the Detroit Lions years earlier) caught it and returned it 49 yards for a touchdown. This remains 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] Because of the turnover and score, what was a Miami-dominated game became close, and the Dolphins had to stop Washington's final drive for the tying touchdown as time expired. 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 fourth 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 award Own a piece of history with this vintage 1973 Super Bowl VII 7 ticket stub featuring the Miami Dolphins and the Washington Redskins.
