1978 Miami Dolphins season

Quarterback Bob Griese missed the first seven games due to a knee injury.

Upon Griese's return, the Dolphins earned a berth to the playoffs as a Wild Card.

Helping to lead the Dolphins back to the postseason was Running Back Delvin Williams who set a team record with 1,258 yards rushing on the season.

In the first playoff game involving two Wild Cards, the Dolphins were stunned 17–9 by the Houston Oilers at the Orange Bowl.
