The Miami Dolphins are mourning the passing of another member from the franchise's historic 1972 undefeated championship team. The news was reported Tuesday by Dolphins Wire correspondent Mike Masala.
The 1972 Dolphins remain the only NFL team to complete a perfect season, finishing 17-0 including a Super Bowl VII victory over the Washington Redskins. With each passing year, the roster of living members from that historic squad continues to diminish.
The organization has not yet released the name of the former player or staff member who died, nor details regarding the circumstances. The Dolphins typically honor deceased alumni from the 1972 team with moments of silence at Hard Rock Stadium and recognition across team platforms.
Only a handful of players from the 1972 roster remain alive today, including Hall of Fame quarterback Bob Griese, running back Larry Csonka, and several other key contributors to the perfect season.
