First and foremost, the Dolphins (8-8) need to win on the road against the New York Jets (4-2). Secondly, they need the Kansas City Chiefs (15-1) to beat the Denver Broncos (9-7) on the road. If both things happen, the Dolphins will have the AFC’s No. 7 seed in the playoffs. Both games are scheduled for a 4:25 p.m. kickoff.

The defense allowed 276 total yards, almost the same number Miami accumulated, but the pass defense really shined. Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson completed only 24 passes on 47 attempts for 170 yards. He also threw an interception, fumbled once, and was forced into three intentional grounding penalties.

The Cleveland Browns host a Miami Dolphins team that is in must-win mode heading into Week 17 of the NFL season. Miami (7-8) is still mathematically in the AFC playoff hunt, but it's going to take a wild sequence of events for that to remain the case heading into Week 18.
