The record of the Miami Dolphins from 1972, where they had a perfect season with 14 wins in the regular season plus three in the playoffs, including the victory over Washington in Super Bowl VII, remains immaculate as one of the most cherished in the NFL.

No team has finished a season undefeated since then. The 1985 Chicago Bears were champions but lost only one game... against the Dolphins. The closest to repeating the feat were the New England Patriots who in 2007, led by the unmatched Tom Brady, won all 16 games of the regular season and reached the Super Bowl undefeated, but surprisingly fell to Eli Manning's New York Giants.

Without shining, this 2024 the Kansas City Chiefs were on a good path with a record of 9-0, but this Sunday they fell 30-21 to the Bills in Buffalo.
How did the Bills achieve victory over the Chiefs?
Josh Allen ran for a 26-yard touchdown on fourth down with 2:17 remaining, sealing the Bills' victory.
The full stadium erupted in chants of "MVP!" as the screen showed replays of Allen's touchdown. Bills coach Sean McDermott chose to go for it on fourth and 2 instead of kicking a field goal for a five-point lead. Allen faked a pass to his left and then broke through the middle, bouncing off two Chiefs defenders before crossing the goal line.
The touchdown run was number 58 in Allen's career, placing him second on the Bills' list, one ahead of O.J. Simpson, and seven behind Thurman Thomas. Allen's two-touchdown performance also increased his total to 244, tying him with Jim Kelly for first place in team history.
In addition, James Cook ran for two touchdowns and Allen threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Curtis Samuel.
Will the Bills and Chiefs meet again in the playoffs?
The Chiefs had won 15 straight, including playoffs, since falling 20-14 to the Las Vegas Raiders on December 17, 2023.
The Bills have won six in a row and are closing in on their sixth consecutive AFC East title.
Buffalo has defeated Kansas City in four consecutive regular season matchups, although Kansas City holds the advantage in the postseason, where they have won the last three meetings since 2020. And it wouldn't be a surprise if the teams faced each other again in January.
The Buffalo defense ended Kansas City's last desperate offensive drive when linebacker Terrel Bernard intercepted Mahomes.
Mahomes finished with 23 completions on 33 attempts for 196 yards with three touchdown passes—two to tight end Noah Gray and one to Xavier Worthy—along with two interceptions.
