4-Down Territory: No more undefeateds, NFL’s best team, Secret Superstars, Worst of the Week!

The NFL’s best team? No more undefeateds? Secret Superstars? Worst of the Week? Doug Farrar and Kyle Madson cover it all in “4-Down Territory.”

With six weeks of actual football in the books for the 2023 NFL season, it’s time for Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire, and Kyle Madson of Niners Wire, to come to the table with their own unique brand of analysis in “4-Down Territory.”

This week, the guys discuss these four downs:

  1. Which team is the NFL’s best now that there are no more undefeated teams?
  2. Will another NFL team ever go undefeated again, or are the 1972 Miami Dolphins safe for eternity?
  3. Who’s the league’s most underrated player?
  4. And of course, our Worst of the Week!

1972 Dolphins great Larry Csonka celebrates as 49ers, Eagles lose

Larry Csonka and the rest of the 1972 Miami Dolphins stand alone as undefeated, still

It is an annual rite. The final NFL team absorbs its first loss and the 1972 Miami Dolphins celebrate.

On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles fell for the first time in 2023.

That means no more undefeated teams and Larry Csonka took to Twitter for a toast. Csonka was a star running back on the 1972 Dolphins, you know, the lone undefeated team in NFL history.

1972 Miami Dolphins to be featured on ESPN’s E60

It will air Sunday at 12 p.m. ET.

While this year’s team fell short of their ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl, there’s still celebrating to do for the anniversary of the year that the Miami Dolphins won everything.

The 50th anniversary of the Dolphins’ perfect season in 1972 is wrapping up, and there have been some great reflections so far, including the honoring of the team against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Now, ESPN is running an “E60” event on the 1972 Dolphins to, once again, memorialize an outstanding achievement. “The Perfect Machine” will air on Sunday, Feb. 5 at 12 p.m. ET on ABC and will be available for streaming on ESPN+ after it airs originally.

The documentary will go in-depth on the season and what made them so unstoppable, including interviews with 17 of the surviving members of the team. Even players and coaches, like the legendary Don Shula himself, will be heard through some older recordings.

During a weekend where there won’t be any real football played, Dolphins fans have something to sit down and get excited to watch on Sunday.
