NFL game summary for 12/10/1972:

The Dolphins, moving toward the first all-winning season in the NFL since the 1942 Chicago Bears posted an 11-0 record, parlayed Paul Warfield's pass-catching, an opportunistic defense and three Garo Yepremian field goals into their 13th straight victory of the season. New York took a 6-0 lead, but four lost fumbles and two interceptions enabled Miami to overcome this deficit.
