The Miami Dolphins reside in an ideal position in Week 14.
The Dolphins host the New York Jets in a game they are expected to win. A victory would allow them to gain ground on both the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts.
Denver and Indianapolis are on Week 14 byes, so neither side can pick up advantages of their own in the AFC wild-card race.
Miami's only way into the postseason is through a wild-card spot, and although the teams in the No. 5 and No. 6 seeds are well ahead of them right now, the Dolphins would love all the help possible to open up as many paths to the playoffs as possible.
