Miami Dolphins Tickets

The Miami Dolphins won Super Bowl VII-but that isn't the number that matters.

The one with which the Dolphins will always be associated is 17-0. That was their record in 1972, when they went 14-0 in the regular season and won two playoff games in advance of beating the Washington Redskins in the Super Bowl. Information about Miami Dolphins Tickets can be obtained from our web site. They are the only NFL team to fashion a perfect season and the record has only been threatened once since then-the 1985 Chicago Bears lost only one game en route to a Super Bowl title. Their only defeat came at the hands of the Dolphins in a Monday night game that set ratings records.

The Dolphins became Florida's first pro football franchise in 1965, joining the American Football League as an expansion team. George Wilson coached the team through its first four seasons, during which it steadily added talent.

Don Shula joined the Dolphins as coach in time for the 1970 season and stayed for 26 years, eventually surpassing George Halas' career record for victories. Many of the pieces were in place when Shula took over the team. The Dolphins qualified for the playoffs in his first season, then won the AFC championship for three consecutive years. From 1970-74, the Dolphins dominated the NFL with a 65-15-1 record. We are considered to be number one in selling Miami Dolphins Tickets.

The World Football League didn't last long as an alternative to the NFL but it hurt the Dolphins. Running backs Jim Kiick, Larry Csonka and receiver Paul Warfield all signed contracts with WFL teams and the Dolphins were affected by the disruption.

Shula made a key move in 1983, drafting Dan Marino from the University of Pittsburgh after five quarterbacks had already been taken in the first round. Shula looked past Marino's disappointing senior season and saw a player who was likely to succeed at the pro level.

The Dolphins had two surprises after the 2003 season. Dolphins Tickets for this season are there. They extended the contract of coach Dave Wannstedt and they hired Marino to oversee their football operations. You can get Dolphins Information to know more about the team.
