Has Any NFL Team Gone Undefeated?
Contents
The answer may surprise you – an NFL team has indeed gone undefeated! In fact, there have been two teams who have done it – the 1972 Miami Dolphins and the 2007 New England Patriots.
The 1972 Miami Dolphins
The 1972 Miami Dolphins remain the only NFL team to have gone an entire season without losing a single game. They are also the only team in NFL history to have won the Super Bowl after finishing the regular season with a perfect record. The 1972 Dolphins finished their season with a record of 14-0 and went on to win Super Bowl VII.
The only team to go undefeated in a season
The 1972 Miami Dolphins are the only team to go undefeated in a season, finishing with a record of 17-0. They are also the only team to win all of their games, including the playoffs. The Dolphins were led by head coach Don Shula and quarterback Bob Griese. Other key members of the team included linebacker Nick Buoniconti, wide receiver Paul Warfield, and running back Larry Csonka.
Won Super Bowl VII
The 1972 Miami Dolphins season was the perfect season. The team became the first and only NFL team to go undefeated and win every game in a season, including the Super Bowl. The dolphins went 14-0 in the regular season and 3-0 in the playoffs. They are still the only team to have done this in NFL history.
The team was coached by Don Shula and led by quarterback Bob Griese. Other key players on the team included wide receiver Paul Warfield, running back Larry Csonka, and linebacker Nick Buoniconti.
The 1972 dolphins were a dominant team on both sides of the ball. They had one of the best defenses in NFL history, giving up just two touchdowns all season long. On offense, they had a balanced attack that could both run and throw the ball effectively.
The 1972 dolphins remain one of the most iconic teams in NFL history. Their perfect season is still unmatched, and it is unlikely that any team will ever match their achievement.
The 2007 New England Patriots
In 2007, the New England Patriots came close to achieving something that no other NFL team has ever done: going undefeated for an entire season. The Patriots went 18-0 in the regular season and then won two more games in the playoffs, giving them a 20-0 record. However, they lost in the Super Bowl to the New York Giants, finishing the season with a 19-1 record.
Undefeated regular season
The 2007 New England Patriots became the first team in NFL history to go undefeated in the regular season. The team finished with a record of 16-0, making them the only team to ever have a perfect regular season record. The Patriots also became the first team to ever win all their games by at least 10 points, finishing with an average margin of victory of 16.8 points per game.
Lost in the Super Bowl
In 2007, the New England Patriots became the first team in NFL history to go undefeated in the regular season since the 1972 Miami Dolphins. The Patriots finished the regular season with a record of 16-0, and they entered the playoffs as the number one seed in the AFC.
However, the Patriots’ perfect season came to an end in Super Bowl XLII, when they were upset by the New York Giants. The Patriots’ loss was a huge disappointment for fans who had been hoping to see their team go 19-0 and complete a perfect season.
The 2015 Carolina Panthers
Undefeated regular season
The 2015 Carolina Panthers were one of the most successful NFL teams in recent memory. Not only did they have a winning record, but they also went undefeated in the regular season. This was a feat that had not been accomplished in nearly a decade, and it was a testament to the team’s hard work and dedication.
Despite their success, the Panthers fell short in the playoffs, losing to the eventual Super Bowl champions, the Denver Broncos. Nevertheless, the 2015 season was one to remember for Carolina fans, and it will be interesting to see if the team can build on their success in future years.
Lost in the NFC Championship game
The Carolina Panthers finished the regular season with a record of 15-1, the best record in the NFL. They then went on to lose in the NFC Championship game to the eventual Super Bowl champions, the Denver Broncos.
