NFL Game of the Week

1972 AFC Championship: Miami Dolphins at Pittsburgh Steelers (8x10)

Uitzenddatum: Jan 06, 1973

THere was no home-field advantage rule in the NFL playoffs back on December 31, 1972, which was a sign of disrespect. Miami, winners of 15 straight, had something to prove against the Cinderella Steelers. Along the way, Don Shula put quarterback Bob Griese back in the huddle for the first time since he broke his ankle in Week 5. The result: every Dolphin stood up to the task and beat the Steelers 21-17.
