The Dolphins are the last of the teams at or above. The Tennessee Titans are seventh based on a tie-beak with the Bengals, with Cincinnati holding the better conference winning percentage. The Wildcards are held by the Los Angeles Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals. AFC Playoff StandingsĬurrently, the Kansas City Chiefs hold the top spot in the AFC, followed by the Pittsburgh Steelers, with the New England Patriots and Houston Texans rounding out the division leaders. All of the AFC East is on the bye simultaneously, so Miami will not see the Patriots either pull further away or come closer during the week.
Their chances of making the playoffs will be impacted, however, as teams playing elsewhere across the league will be impacting the Wildcard hunt. There should not be a lot of changes in the Dolphins’ positioning next week, with the team on their bye week.
That is down from a 21 percent chance before last week’s loss. They are not out of it, but they do not look like they are in it right now, either.Īccording to Five Thirty Eight, the Dolphins currently have just an 11 percent chance of making the Playoffs. The AFC race for the Wildcard is tightening, with more teams looking like contenders, while the Dolphins, in a position to contend, head into their bye week simply trying to find answers to so many questions. Instead, they again looked outmatched throughout the day, continued a streak of touchdown-less play from the offense (nearly 2.5 games now), and hurt their chances at making the playoffs. In a week in which the New England Patriots also lost, the Dolphins were in a prime position to make up ground in the AFC East, potentially moving to within a game of the perennial division champions, while also continuing to position themselves for a Wildcard spot - if everything else had remained the same, but the Dolphins had beaten the Packers, they would be in the sixth position right now, inside the playoff cutoff and in great shape heading into their final six games. The Miami Dolphins were in seventh place in the AFC before their Week 10 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
