Dolphins Face Jets in Playoff Bid as Rodgers Nears Milestones

Miami must win and rely on a Chiefs victory over Denver to secure the final AFC wild-card spot.

The Dolphins, currently 8-8, need a win against the 4-12 Jets and a Denver loss to Kansas City to make the playoffs for the third consecutive season.
Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley is expected to start again for Miami as Tua Tagovailoa recovers from a hip injury.
Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, potentially playing his final NFL game, is one touchdown away from becoming the fifth player in history to reach 500 career passing touchdowns.
Miami's De’Von Achane and Tyreek Hill are both approaching significant milestones, with Achane close to a unique dual-touchdown record and Hill nearing multiple career benchmarks.
The Jets, already eliminated from playoff contention, are set for a major offseason overhaul, including decisions on Rodgers' future and hiring a new head coach and general manager.
