The Miami Dolphins became the first team in NFL history to go through the regular season and the playoffs undefeated. Miami's "No Name Defense" could have had the Super Bowl's only shutout, but Washington scored with 2:07 left in the game on a fluke play. After a botched snap, Miami kicker Garo Ypremian fumbled while trying to throw the ball, and Mike Bass picked it out of the air and went 49 yards for the score.
