1972 Dolphins 37 - 1967 Packers 30

This is not the strongest of the Packer entrants, seeing as it is at the tail end of the Lombardi era, but they do a lot of the little things well. Against the 72 Dolphins this was not good enough, as the Pack fell behind early by 16 points and could never quite catch up with a team seemingly designed to hold leads and kill the clock. Even a 95 yard KO return from Travis Williams was just a little too little. The Dolphins running game is brutally efficient at grinding out at least ten yards every three plays or so, and the Dolphins make few mistakes while forcing plenty on their opponents. QB Earl Morrall is good as well - but not brilliant - and this might be the obne weakness Miami has as they move forward and run into run defenses better than 67 GB
