Dolphins' Rooting Guide for NFL Playoff Bracket Implications of Week 16
Dolphins' Rooting Guide for NFL Playoff Bracket Implications of Week 16
The Miami Dolphins need some help from unlikely sources in Week 16 to clear their path to the postseason.
Miami enters Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers facing a 2.5-game deficit to the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC wild-card race.
Miami already benefited from Los Angeles' win over Denver on Thursday, but now it needs more help so that the playoff dream stays alive.
If a miraculous run to a wild-card spot were to happen, the Dolphins need the two other 6-8 teams to lose and for one of the nine-win teams to collapse.
