The Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys find themselves in the same situation going into their Week 11 tilt set for Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on Fox.
Both teams could see their faint playoff hopes disappear with a loss. Miami is 4-5 and separated by four teams from the final playoff spot, but it's only one game behind the holders of that playoff spot: the 5-4 Buffalo Bills (Note: The Dolphins are technically two games behind the Bills, who would hold the tiebreaker over Miami if the two finished with identical records due to the Bills sweeping the season series).
