Super Bowl VII was an American football game between the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Miami Dolphins and the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Washington Redskins to decide the National Football League (NFL) 1972 season champion. The Dolphins defeated the Redskins by the score of 14–7, and became the first and still the only NFL team to complete a season undefeated. The game was played on January 14, 1973, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, the second time the Super Bowl was played in that city. This was the Dolphins' second Super Bowl appearance after losing Super Bowl VI. They posted an undefeated 14–0 regular season record before defeating the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs. The Redskins were making their first Super Bowl appearance after posting an 11–3 regular season record and playoff victories over the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. Super Bowl VII remains the lowest-scoring Super Bowl to date with a total of only 21 points (3 touchdown and 3 extra points). This game also remains as the longest period in a Super Bowl for one team to be shut out, as Washington was held scoreless until 2:07 remained in the fourth quarter. Dolphins safety Jake Scott was named Most Valuable Player. Scott became the second defensive player in Super Bowl history to earn a Super Bowl MVP. Condition: Very good.
