Game History

The skill level of the teams was relatively balanced and it fell hard on the teams to come into the field, as both Defenses were very good. The Dolphins were in the first quarter with a 27- yard pass, and reached by a run per a touchdown in the second quarter. Two minutes before the end, the Dolphins attempted a 42- yard field goal, the kick by Garo Yepremian but was blocked. Yepremian caught the free football, but instead to let Tackling and accept a turnover on downs, he attempted a hasty union, which in turn was blocked and recovered by Redskins cornerback Mike Bass for a touchdown. Washington's comeback came too late, it remained at 14:7.
