2018 NFL Playoff picture: NFC divisions being clinched, Dolphins crippled in AFC Wildcard chase

Week 15 of the NFL season is nearly complete, with just the New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers Monday Night Football game to be played. The week featured several changes to the playoff picture for both the AFC and NFC. For the Miami Dolphins, it likely also meant the end of their chances to make the postseason.

Miami was demolished by the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The Vikings jumped out to a 21-0 lead, then Miami clawed their way back into the game, pulling to within four at 21-17 early in the third quarter before it all fell apart for the South Florida team.
