The Dolphins improved upon their previous season’s output of 8\u20138, winning nine games.[1] Seven of the team’s sixteen games were decided by a field goal or less. This was also the season where the Dolphins released a new logo and new uniforms with a darker aqua and dark navy drop shadow in numbers. The uniforms and logo lasted until the 2012 season. During Week 3, the Dolphins were defeated by the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers for the first time in franchise history. This could be argued as the most cursed of all Dolphins seasons because it offered a turnaround where the New England Patriots defeated the Dolphins 3 times in the 1997 season, sweeping them. This was the first of five consecutive playoff appearances for the Dolphins. This season saw the Patriots return three Marino interceptions for touchdowns in New England (two of them in the 2nd quarter of the week 13 matchup, and one in the Wild Card matchup where the Patriots defeated Miami 17\u20133). The Wild Card loss came less than a week after the Dolphins lost to the Patriots 14\u201312 on Monday Night Football in Miami for the AFC East division title. Until 2021, this was the last time the Dolphins swept the New York Jets in back-to-back seasons.Offseason[edit]NFL Draft[edit]Schedule[edit]WeekDateOpponentResultTV Time(ET)TV AnnouncersAttendanceRecord1August 31, 1997Indianapolis ColtsW 16\u201310NBC 1:00pmCharlie Jones & Bob Trumpy70,8131\u201302September 7, 1997Tennessee OilersW 16\u201313 (OT)NBC 1:00pmDon Criqui & Jim Mora64,4392\u201303September 14, 1997at Green Bay PackersL 23\u201318NBC 1:00pmDick Enberg, Paul Maguire & Phil Simms60,0752\u201314September 21, 1997at Tampa Bay BuccaneersL 31\u201321TNT 8:00pmVerne Lundquist & Pat Haden73,3142\u201325Bye6October 5, 1997Kansas City ChiefsW 17\u201314NBC 1:00pmCharlie Jones, Randy Cross & Bob Trumpy71,7943\u201327October 12, 1997at New York JetsW 31\u201320NBC 1:00pmDick Enberg, Paul Maguire & Phil Simms75,6014\u201328October 19, 1997at Baltimore RavensW 24\u201313NBC 4:00pmDon Criqui & Jim Mora64,3545\u201329October 27, 1997Chicago BearsL 36\u201333 (OT)ABC 9:00pmMike Patrick & Joe Theismann73,1565\u2013310November 2, 1997at Buffalo BillsL 9\u20136NBC 1:00pmDan Hicks, Paul Maguire & Jim Kelly78,0115\u2013411November 9, 1997New York JetsW 24\u201317NBC 1:00pmCharlie Jones, Randy Cross & Bob Trumpy73,8096\u2013412November 17, 1997Buffalo BillsW 30\u201313ABC 9:00pmAl Michaels, Frank Gifford & Dan Dierdorf74,1557\u2013413November 23, 1997at New England PatriotsL 27\u201324NBC 1:00pmTom Hammond & Randy Cross59,0027\u2013514November 30, 1997at Oakland RaidersW 34\u201316NBC 4:00pmDick Enberg, Paul Maguire & Phil Simms50,5698\u2013515December 7, 1997Detroit LionsW 33\u201330ESPN 8:00pmMike Patrick & Joe Theismann72,2669\u2013516December 14, 1997at Indianapolis ColtsL 41\u20130NBC 1:00pmCharlie Jones & Bob Trumpy61,2829\u2013617December 22, 1997New England PatriotsL 14\u201312ABC 9:00pmAl Michaels, Frank Gifford & Dan Dierdorf74,3799\u20137Note: Intra-division opponents are in bold text.Playoffs[edit]Standings[edit]References[edit]"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki10\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki10\/1997-miami-dolphins-season-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"1997 Miami Dolphins season – Wikipedia"}}]}]
