Established in the American Football League in 1966, the Miami Dolphins are now members of the National Football League’s Eastern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC). The team joined the NFL as part of an AFL-NFL merger.

The team was extremely successful in the early 1970s through to the 1980s, claiming multiple division and conference titles. In fact, in 1972, the team had the NFL’s first – and only – perfect season, winning all of its regular season and post season games. The Dolphins claimed their first Super Bowl championship that year, and would win the title again the following year.

The Dolphins made 7 playoff appearances during the 1990s and obtained 2 Division championships. After Dave Wannstadt of the Chicago Bears became the team’s new coach and Jay Fiedler became the new quarterback, the team enjoyed a fairly successful 2000-2001 season. The following years, however, were difficult ones; the Dolphins would not have a postseason appearance until 2008.

The years between 2001 and 2008 would see several administration changes, as multiples coaches came and left. In 2007, injuries left quarterback Trent Green on the sidelines; he was replaced by Cleo Lemon and John Beck. The Dolphins also traded one of their top wide-receivers, Chris Chambers, to the San Diego Chargers. The team ended the season with an NFL worst at 1-15, even after an extraordinary pass from Lemon to wide-out Greg Camarillo that launched the latter into legend.

In 2008, Tony Sparano was hired as coach and quarterback Chad Pennington was nabbed from the New York Jets. The Dolphins went on to defeat the Jets and Brett Favre for the AFC East title, but the Miami team would lose to the Baltimore Ravens in the first round of the postseason. The team finished with a much-improved regular season record of 11-5.
