But before I get into why the Dolphins season may end as early as Sunday, let’s look at the AFC playoff picture as it will help explain the situation the Dolphins find themselves in.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers sit atop the division with a 9-2 and 7-2-1 record, respectively. However, you have the New England Patriots, Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers right behind them at 7-3. As of today, the Baltimore Ravens hold the sixth seed with a 5-5 record.
