Miami Dolphins 2020 season: Does the team have to make the Playoffs for a successful year?

The Miami Dolphins are currently in the final wildcard position for the 2020 AFC Playoffs, a position they are hoping to keep over the final three weeks of the regular season. Miami, 8-5, hosts the New England Patriots on Sunday, then face the Las Vegas Raiders on a Saturday night game in Week 16 before ending the season at Buffalo. They are being chased for the final spot by the Baltimore Ravens (8-5), the Raiders (7-6), the New England Patriots (6-7), and the Denver Broncos (5-8).

The 2019 version of the Dolphins was considered the “worst team to ever play the game” by national pundits, being criticized as morally reprehensible for putting players in a position to not succeed as the team started the year 0-7.
