The Miami Dolphins may not be in the playoff hunt any longer, but that doesn't mean there is nothing worth watching as the season comes to a close. Week 17 was a perfect example of that, as they played spoiler for a fellow Florida franchise in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Miami's 20-17 victory was full of promising moments from a team looking for any amount of momentum heading into a pivotal 2026 offseason. While some fans may be upset about a "meaningless" win, and I can sympathize with that, sometimes it's better to see young players stand out even in a lost season.
