The only NFL team to go undefeated, the Miami Dolphins compiled a 14-0 record during the 1972 regular season. After winning in the first round of the playoffs, the Dolphins beat Pittsburgh for the AFC Championship, and then capped the season with a Super Bowl victory against the Washington Redskins. The offense, ranked number one in the league, was led by the passing of quarterback Earl Morrall, receiving of Paul Warfield, and by running backs Larry Czonka and Mercury Morris, both of whom rushed for over 1,000 yards that season. The defense was also rated the NFL's best, anchored by linebacker Nick Buoniconti and safety Jake Scott. On both sides of the Riddell "Pro Line" model helmet is the official "Miami Dolphins" logo sticker. On the front and back of the helmet and on both ends of the chinstrap is the "Riddell" manufacturers name imprinted in red. On the back of the helmet are two manufacturers stickers with helmet size "L 7 ¼-7 ¾" and warning information on them. Adjacent to the warning sticker is the official "NFL" logo sticker. On the inside of the ear flaps of the helmet are additional manufacturers stickers. The helmet interior has the original foam padding and ear pads. Attached to the helmet are a green facemask and chinstrap. There are over 30 autographs in black marker rating 9s on the top and sides of the helmet. The helmet is in mint condition and is in the original Riddell cardstock box. Accompanied by a LOA from Jimmy Spence of PSA/DNA and by a Steiner Certificate.
