Go from 'just winning' to perfection!  Hear from the quarterback of the only Super Bowl team to complete a perfect undefeated season, Bob Griese shares his game plan for success.

Bob Griese earned All-American honors as a quarterback at Purdue before being drafted in 1967 by the Miami Dolphins.  Griese led the Dolphins to three consecutive Super Bowl appearances, including two Super Bowl victories.
 
In the 1970s, the 6’-1”, 190-pound quarterback led the Dolphins to the highest winning percentage in all of professional sports, including nine winning seasons and a perfect 17-0 record in 1972. That year, the Dolphins went 14–0 in the regular season and won all three postseason games, including Super Bowl VII against the Washington Redskins. The team remains the only NFL team to complete an entire season undefeated and untied from the opening game through the Super Bowl.
 
In Griese's 14 pro seasons, he threw for 25,092 yards and 192 touchdowns. A six-time Dolphins MVP, he was named All-Pro in 1971 and 1977, and All-AFC four times (1970, 1971, 1973 & 1977). He played in two AFL All-Star games and six AFC-NFC Pro Bowls. Griese was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and the Indiana Football Hall of Fame in 1984 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990. His #12 was retired by the Dolphins during a Monday Night Football broadcast in 1985.
