San Diego Chargers at Miami Dolphins, 1972

The true test of the 1972 Miami Dolphins came with this Week 5 showdown. San Diego pressed Dolphin starter Bob Griese, injuring his right ankle. Now came the genius of Don Shula: backup QB Earl Morrall kept up Miami's caliber. The largest crowd in Dolphin history cheered the team to its fifth straight win. No one at that time knew just how long their success would endure.
