- February 4 – Indianapolis Colts beat the Chicago Bears 29–17 to win Super Bowl XLI at Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The win was the Colts' first Super Bowl Championship since their 1970–71 team, when the franchise was still in Baltimore. Quarterback Peyton Manning is named MVP.
- January 8 - BCS National Championship Game at Fiesta Bowl (2006 season):
- The Florida Gators won 41-14 over the Ohio State Buckeyes to win the National Championship
- December 16 - The Miami Dolphins defeat the Baltimore Ravens 22-16 in overtime to claim their only win of the 2007 NFL season. With the Dolphins losing their final two games, they would've suffered an Imperfect season if not for that overtime victory, a year before the Detroit Lions became the first winless team since the NFL expanded to a 16-game schedule.
- December 29 - The New England Patriots became the second team after the 1972 Miami Dolphins to win all their regular season games after defeating the New York Giants 38-35 (16-0). They would win 2 playoff games and enter Super Bowl XLII at 18-0. However, the Patriots could not complete what could have been a historic 19-0 season. The Giants upset the Patriots 17-14.
