The Dolphins improved by 1 game over their 3–11 inaugural season from 1966, finishing 4–10 and in 4th place in the AFL Eastern Division. The team began its season with two straight bye weeks. In the first game, they beat Denver, 35–21, to win their first ever season opener. However, the Dolphins then lost 8 straight games before beating the Buffalo Bills, 17–14, at home, for their first ever win against Buffalo. The Dolphins went winless on the road this season, the last time they would do that until the 2007 season. However, one of the high points during the season was scoring 40 points in back-to-back games, with 41–24 and 41–32 wins over the Chargers and Patriots, respectively. This season was also the rookie campaign for quarterback Bob Griese, who would spend his entire NFL career with the Dolphins which involved 3 Super Bowl trips and 2 Super Bowl titles, along with the only perfect season in NFL history.
