It is going to take another miracle if the Miami Dolphins want to make the NFL playoffs.
Despite their improbable Week 14 victory over the Patriots, Miami took a giant step backwards with a 41-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings (7-6-1) on Sunday to drop to 7-7.
The Dolphins now face an uphill battle in order to reach the postseason, needing to leapfrog the Baltimore Ravens (8-6), Tennessee Titans (8-6) and Indianapolis Colts (8-6) with just two games remaining.
Oddsmakers have put the Dolphins at +1000 to make the playoffs, but afavorableschedule over the final two games gives Miami a glimmer of hope.
