FOLLOWING PERFECTION: THE 1973 MIAMI DOLPHINS

 GAME 11; Miami @ Dallas, Nov. 22, 1973 (Thursday)

 The NFL schedule maker arranged a real feast for football fans on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22, 1973. The defending Super Bowl VII champion Miami Dolphins were sent to Texas Stadium to play the Cowboys, who defeated Miami in Super Bowl VI. Before the game started, a moment of silence was observed to acknowledge the 10th anniversary of the death of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.

The Dallas Cowboys were the NFL’s first modern era expansion team. In the late 1950’s, Lamar Hunt was rebuffed in his efforts to bring NFL football to Dallas. Washington Redskins owner George Preston Marshall enjoyed his status as the only professional football representative of the southern states. Repeatedly, Marshall blocked any potential applicant from getting a franchise in the deep south. So Hunt, and a group of extremely wealthy businessmen, formed the rival American Football League. It was announced that TWO AFL franchises would be located in Texas (the Dallas Texans, owned by Lamar Hunt, and Bud Adam’s Houston Oilers), beginning in 1960.

Two prominent Texas residents, Clint Murchison, Jr., and Bedford Wynne, applied for an NFL franchise for Dallas. Sensing opposition from the Redskins, Murchison and Wynne purchased the rights to the Redskins fight song, “Hail to the Redskins!” They informed Redskins’ management they would REFUSE PERMISSION for Washington to play the song at Redskins’ games unless Marshall supported the new Dallas NFL application. Marshall relented and, belatedly, Dallas was awarded an NFL franchise in 1960.

This franchise initially was known as the Dallas Steers and, then, the Dallas Rangers. Soon, the nickname was changed to Cowboys. The ownership group hired Texas (Tex) Schramm as general manager, Gil Brandt as director of player personnel and Tom Landry, formerly defensive coordinator of the New York Giants, as their head coach. Both Schramm and Landry have since been inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame.

By the end of 1971, the Dallas Cowboys were among the very best franchises in the National Football League. They narrowly lost Super Bowl V to the Baltimore Colts (who were quarterbacked to victory by back-up QB Earl Morrall, who replaced an injured Johnny Unitas in that game’s second quarter). Then, at Super Bowl VI, they easily defeated the Dolphins. By 1973, the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders had achieved iconic status. And the football team had become “America’s Team.”

Dallas was riding high as they came into this Thanksgiving Day showdown against Miami. In succession, they had crushed the Bengals (38-10), the Giants (23-10) and the Eagles (31-10). Quarterback Roger Staubach and his teammates were brimming with confidence. And why not? A total of FIVE future Hall of Famers were on this team!

But NO TEAM in the NFL was playing as well as the Miami Dolphins. Miami had won 8 consecutive games and 25 of their last 26 contests. Miami’s last two shutout destructions of Baltimore (44-0) and Buffalo (17-0) had observers saying “This may be the best defense in NFL history!”

Head coach Don Shula stressed to his team the importance of winning this game. A victory over the Cowboys would maintain Miami’s edge in the race for home field advantage in the AFC. While many called Dallas “America’s Team,” Shula wanted his team to be known as “America’s BEST Team.” He believed the Dolphins would prove it on the football field.

The players, for their part, also thought they had something to prove. Most of them were on the Super Bowl VI team that was drubbed by Dallas. There was this matter of pride. Their pride had carried them through the NFL’s one and only Perfect Season in 1972. This same pride would help them to prove they were the BEST team in 1973. To achieve this, they HAD to defeat Dallas in this nationally televised Thanksgiving Day game.

Csonka 1st QMiami had gotten off to a very fast start in their last two shutout victories. All-Pro safety Jake Scott made sure of a third straight Dolphins’ fast start when he intercepted Staubach’s first pass at the Dallas 38 and returned it to the Cowboys’ nine yard line! A Dallas penalty moved the ball inside the five. Two Csonka runs got the ball to the one. From there, Csonka bulled his way into the Cowboys’ end zone putting Miami ahead 7-0.

Morris 1st Q

Miami’s “No-Name” defense stuffed Dallas on their second possession. Marv Bateman’s punt backed the Dolphins up to the Miami 32. From there, Mercury Morris sprinted for a 12 yard gain. Two plays later Griese went back to pass. No one was open, so Griese scrambled for 21 yards for a first down at the Dallas 45.

Griese

The time was ripe for one future Hall of Famer, Paul Warfield, to test another future Hall of Famer, Dallas cornerback Mel Renfro. Griese and Warfield faked a quick-out sideline pattern. Renfro bit. Griese’s downfield pass was right on the money. Warfield left Renfro in his dust as he scored a 45 yard touchdown, putting Miami ahead 14-0 at the end of the first quarter.

Roger Staubach was determined to get Dallas right back in this game. He guided a Dallas drive that started from their 17 yard line.  Tough running by Walt Garrison and Calvin Hill got the Cowboys moving. Passes to Hill and Drew Pearson kept the drive alive. On fourth down and three yards to go from the Miami five, Landry decided to forego a short field goal. He told Staubach to go for it! Cowboy fans stood and applauded!

Miami appeared to stack the defense toward the middle of the field. Seeing this, Staubach checked-off to a Calvin Hill run around right end. Right after the audible, Lloyd Mumphord and Dick Anderson shifted to the exact area the run was designed to go. They occupied Dallas’ blockers, giving Jake Scott a clean shot at Hill. Scott crushed Hill, forcing him out of bounds for a SEVEN YARD LOSS!!  You could hear a pin drop as the Dolphins jogged off the field with a 14-0 halftime lead at Texas Stadium!

staubach

A scoreless third quarter was dominated by the two defenses. A desperate Dallas team finally mounted a successful drive in the fourth quarter. The long 94-yard drive ended when Walt Garrison scored on a one yard run, narrowing the gap to 14-7.

With 8:41 left on the clock Griese and the Dolphins offense went to work. First down followed first down. The clock kept running. With less than one minute left, Miami had the ball at the Dallas one yard line. They COULD have scored again. But head coach Don Shula let the clock run out. The Dolphins had defeated the Dallas Cowboys.

The star of the game, Jake Scott, celebrated in the post game locker room. Head coach Don Shula was also smiling. His running offense had run the ball 41 times for an average of 4 yards per carry (even with a couple of Griese kneel downs at the end.) Griese was 6 for 10 for 103 yards passing, including a key touchdown to Warfield. Once again, Griese was not sacked in this entire game. In fact, Griese had only been sacked 8 times in Miami’s first 11 games!!

Next up: a Monday Night Football date in the historic Orange Bowl with another NFL heavyweight, the talented Pittsburgh Steelers.

The 1973 Miami Dolphins were now 10-1.

    FIRST!!! I truly hope all of you enjoy this pleasant stroll down memory lane as our Dolphins claimed one of their most important wins in the 1973 season. My sincerest thanks to HERDFAN and MISS GIGI for all their help with this project, too. It is my firm belief that Miami’s 32-2 record during the 1972 and 1973 seasons represents the greatest two year run in NFL history!! – – Enjoy it, Dolfans, enjoy it!!

    Me and Mrs OD will be hitting the trail to another convention this week. Friday night I’ll be taking my oldest grand daughter and her her 3 girls (my 3 Great Grand Daughters) to dinner in Tennessee. I feel as though it’s Christmas in August!! Talk to you later, folks!

    Scarey thing about that Jared plead guilty story is most people plead out to lesser charges to avoid ones that are worse and that they have a very strong case to convict. Makes you wonder how deep the rabbit hole went. Guess when you lose a couple children’s worth of weight you start looking to replace them with pictures. Sick fuck.

  6. olddolphan's avatar olddolphan says:

    WELL IT’S 7:47 and I’m getting ready for work. Game 11 of “FOLLOWING PERFECTION” featured the two previous Super Bowl winners. Many (most?) football fans outside of Florida considered DALLAS as the best football team in the NFL, despite Miami’s Perfect Season in 1972. “Miami was lucky” said the critics. Others said “Dallas CRUSHED Miami the last time they played.” Shula’s boys answered the doubters with a victory that was more lopsided than the score indicated. But, still, some critics were NOT persuaded. – – Next up on Miami’s schedule was the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team many thought was about to unseat Miami as the best team in the AFC. Many critics believed there was NO WAY the Dolphins could beat Dallas and Pittsburgh in back-to-back games!! –What followed was a Monday Night contest for the ages. Indeed, many believe the Pittsburgh-Miami game in the historic Orange Bowl WAS THE GREATEST MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME EVER PLAYED!!! – – A week from today, the Old Dolfan will put YOU on the 50 yard line for the most memorable, most amazing, game of the 1973 NFL season. —The end of the game will blow you away!! – – DON’T MISS IT!!

    • Randy Greene's avatar Randy Greene says:

      Right on. I watched that game on tv, and I believe Miami could have sored another 13-17 points. Shula ran the clock out on Dallas’ 1 yd line in the 4th qtr. This game was played on my twelth birthday, was it a sweet present.

    Tom Brady is open to accepting some form of suspension, but only if it can be for failing to cooperate with the NFL rather than admitting to the Wells’ Report findings, per league sources…..
    ———————
    Assuming true……sounds like Brady is open to the “I’ll take two games, but knew nothing about it” option. If they are going to settle, seems like that has to be it.

    • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

      I don’t really think the NFL has to keep fighting this for any reason

      No one except Cheats fans care about this anymore
      I would not b surprised if the NFL accept a settlement like this

    • Ken's avatar Ken says:

      I don’t think so because he is seeking to have the report written in such a way that his punishment would only be for a minor offense that would not warrant such a suspension.

      • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

        But that is his threat if it goes to a ruling. And I do think he has a point on ball manipulation should be treated like wideouts using stick’um. Overall though……think he just wants an out that saves his image more than anything. Q is where Goddell stands to me.

    Ken, I think Delmas tried to come back too quick. If he did in fact blow the knee again this could be the end of his career. It’s too bad because he’s a good player, good guy and the team loves him.

    • Ken's avatar Ken says:

      I am not as high on Delmas as you but it would be unfortunate if this ended his career. It is true that he was liked by the team and the numbers support that we were better with him in there than out although I can’t figure out why as I didn’t think he was anything special.

  59. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    It’s so obvious that cheating Brady only cares about his bullshit legacy. He doesn’t want to remembered or labeled as the cheater he is.

    Bills signed RB Cierre Wood.
    With LeSean McCoy, Karlos Williams, Fred Jackson, Bryce Brown, and Anthony Dixon all injured, the Bills needed to sign a body for their backfield. Wood joins unknowns Bronson Hill and Ricky Seale ahead of Buffalo’s second preseason game. Wood, 24, has three career carries for nine yards.

    The irony here is that the Bills said NO to signing Ray Rice. If he can’t get a job with Rex in Buffalo with their RB situation, then seems he’s destined for UPS or Uber driver. 😉

      By all accounts Ray Rice was always a good presence in the locker room.

        Yeah others in the slapaho tribe think well of him too… Balt was never a team that seemed to care about their players being upstanding people, and they only ditched him because they didnt want the NFL up in their shit while they were up in Ray’s. Any team that signs Rice is kind of accepting the idea of a probe deep in the anus of their team affairs. Id be surprised if Buffalo took the chance, especially with someone like Rex there, cause oyu know he lets his players get away with a lot.

    Source tells me initial report is that Louis Delmas has a torn ACL. Will be confirmed by MRI.

    mike

    and i agree with you. from day one i have said there will be no punishment. and until he sits out 4 games i wont believe it. i still think he is going to walk away with no banishment

    My client should be here any minute. I am out. Peace to you all.

    Thats why i have been projecting Aikens as starting safety with Jones (check out Boulder’s spread sheet) is i thought Delmas had a high probability of injury or just not being fully recovered and capable of winning the job. I still feel that even in the best case scenario that Delmas started the year, Aikens would have been the guy by around game 6 or so. Hate that it happened to him, because he is a hard worker, has a great attitude and brings a energy to the team. Even if he cant get back healthy i think he is valuable to the team as a mentor on the sidelines.

    tim,

    i hope you are right. but i will wait till he is out for four games till i say you are.

    When Dolphins signed Delmas, they protected themselves for this scenario, I’m told. Delmas’ 2015 salary drops by ~$1M w/ preseason IR desig.

    “I don’t think he was overly excited to see Ryan and Lauren be at the top of the franchise for a long time so he did his best to try and snuff them out and he lost.”

    Tim,
    I believe the spelling is “shonuff”. not snuff…..go check your Omar dictionary.

    Al,
    I know. If Tanny was black omar would have been his biggest fan from day 1. I think Omar is racist.

    There is no probably, he has said extremely prejudice things and felt entitled to do so, i think thats inherently racist to believe you can say whatever you want about another race and proud of your self doing it. Shows little to no concern for the other person/race you are talking about.

    Ill also add that im not a fan of calling something racist even when its just really distasteful prejudices, but way he carries himself i think it crosses a line, some of the shit he said to Hartline, and Tanny both have made me feel Omar hates whites and it seeps forward every so often.

      I’m not sure exactly what is going on with him, but I sensed some issues the one time I met him. Came up with a friendly hello with hand extended at the first fest…..and I saw fear in his eyes. I may not be a social angel, but it was just weird.

      Had meant to say, he felt entitled to say them in a public forum, which says a lot to me…
