The Splash Zone 12/14/22: Dolphins playoff chances

Despite how frustrating the past two weeks have been for the Miami Dolphins and their fans, the team is still in the playoffs at the moment. They still have a very good chance of making the postseason, but they can’t make many more mistakes in this final stretch of the season. The AFC East is probably going to the Buffalo Bills unless they self-implode, so the focus for the Dolphins is to secure one of those wildcard spots.
