The Miami Dolphins are tied for an AFC Wildcard position, but they are currently on the outside looking in based on tie breakers. This week’s rooting guide focuses on trying to get Miami ahead of those tie breakers, either by winning and putting a game between them and everyone else, or by having a team that could disrupt Miami’s Wildcard positioning move into their respective division leads. That means teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tennessee Titans are, hopefully, going to win their division and keep the Wildcard clear for the Dolphins.
(Yes, the Dolphins hold the head-to-head tie break on Pittsburgh, but the Steelers beat Miami in a three-way tie with the Broncos due to AFC conference record).
