In this episode of Greatest Sports Legends, host Dave Winfield explores the career of Larry Csonka. During the 1972 season, the Dolphins became the only team since the AFL-NFL Merger to go undefeated, and Csonka was an instrumental part of the success, rushing for a career best 1,117 yards. Csonka led all rushers in Super Bowl VII with 112 yards on only 15 carries. Late in the third quarter, Csonka had a run that epitomized his style. After breaking several tackles near the line of scrimmage, he rumbled for 49 yards. The following season, the Dolphins won a second straight title and "Zonk", as he was known, was the Super Bowl VIII MVP. Exploiting brilliant blocking by his offensive line, he rushed 33 times for two touchdowns and a then-record 145 yards. This video contains an in-depth interview as well as footage of the games, touchdowns and rushes that made him stand out in history. His career with Miami will remain eternally unrivaled in the eyes of all Dolphins fans. Running Time: 22 minutes
