The Miami Dolphins franchise had cause for celebration on Monday night, despite their team having played their Week 10 matchup the day before.
Miami’s undefeated 1972 season remained the only perfect year in NFL history, as the Philadelphia Eagles, who entered Monday night with an 8-0 record, were defeated by the Washington Commanders by a final score of 32-21.
After the defeat, legendary Dolphin Larry Csonka took to social media to share his appreciation for the Commanders.
Thank you #WashingtonCommanders As in 2020 when you knocked out the #Steelers I’m a Washington fan tonight! #WASvsPHI #ESPN #72Dolphins #UNDEFEATED pic.twitter.com/os9MFJDnsU

While not everyone from that ’72 team is jumping on Twitter to celebrate, it’s pretty safe to guess that most did so in one way or another.
