The clinking sound you hear is that of champagne glasses held by members and fans of the 1972 Dolphins. When the Kansas City Chiefs lost last night to the Buffalo Bills there were at that moment zero teams left in the NFL with perfect records this year, cementing the ’72 Dolphins claim to most recent perfect season.

The Chiefs really are the new New England Patriots, and I’m always happy to see them knocked down a peg at any point in the season.

Count me among those clinking.
