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.

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.
