The Miami Dolphins weren't perfect in 1973, but they looked perfect in the Super Bowl, running at will to build a 24-0 lead before yielding a consolation fourth-quarter touchdown to the Vikings. Larry Csonka rushed for a record 145 yards on 33 carries and Bob Griese threw only 7 passes, completing 6 of them.
