Steelers vs. Dolphins: Dec. 31, 1972

When the Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins met for the first time in the NFL playoffs in 1972, the Steelers were just starting to realize their potential as an NFL powerhouse. The Dolphins, however, were closing in on perhaps the greatest season of all time. Their meeting to decide the AFC champion on Dec. 31, 1972, at Three Rivers Stadium ended with a battered and bruised Terry Bradshaw, and a 21-17 win for the Dolphins. Miami would go on to defeat the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII to put an exclamation mark on the one and only perfect season in NFL history. View The Gallery >
