The Miami Dolphins will kick off this afternoon against the Indianapolis Colts. These former AFC East division rivals are both 5-5 on the year and tied for the sixth position in the postseason race, with the winner moving above .500 and establishing themselves as a contender to claim that final position. The loser will be facing an uphill battle if they want to fight their way into the postseason.
The good news for the Dolphins is the return of the 2012 eighth overall draft picks, quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who has missed the last five games with a shoulder injury, and brings with him a hope that the Miami offense will break out of the stagnant rut in which they have been over the last three games.
