Fins Clinch Wild Card Playoff Spot

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — For the first time in eight years, the Miami Dolphins are in the playoffs.

The Dolphins clinched an AFC wild-card berth Sunday night when Denver lost to Kansas City 33-10. The Broncos’ defeat, coupled with Miami’s 34-31 overtime victory at Buffalo on Saturday, assured the Dolphins (10-5) of no worse than the sixth and final seed in the conference playoffs.

The Dolphins had Sunday off. At least some players watched the late-night Denver-Kansas City finish.

“Playoffs I See You,” receiver Jarvis Landry tweeted shortly before the Broncos’ game ended.

“It’s only the beginning,” linebacker Jelani Jenkins tweeted.
