The Miami Dolphins will see their 2015 campaign finally come to an end on Sunday as they host the New England Patriots in a Week 17 contest with nothing on the line for Miami. The Patriots, with a win, lock themselves into the top spot in the AFC Playoffs, but will finish no worse than second in the AFC Playoff picture. This game will officially ends a season in which Miami, expected to make a run at the Playoffs and, possibly, the Patriots at the top of the AFC East, are currently 5-10 and have already fired their head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator.
