NFL Playoff Picture after Week 12 results: Dolphins struggling to stay relevant

Despite the return of Ryan Tannehill, a two interception performance from Xavien Howard, and the first sack recorded against Andrew Luck in early October, the Miami Dolphins may have seen any realistic chance at the 2018-2019 playoffs end on Sunday with a last-second field goal from the Indianapolis Colts. Miami was already looking at long odds to make the playoffs, despite entering Week 12 in a five-way-tie for the second Wildcard position. Now, their chances are minuscule at best.

After last week’s bye, Miami’s chances at the postseason rose, according to FiveThirtyEight, who saw them go from an 11 percent chance after Week 10 to a 13 percent chance after Week 11.
