DAVIE (CBSMiami/AP) — Despite their problems so far this season, the Miami Dolphins are still in the AFC playoff race.
If the Dolphins miss the playoffs for the seventh year in a row, which is likely, their fans will be able to offer firsthand feedback.
Five of Miami’s final seven games are at home, starting Sunday against Dallas.
The Dolphins (4-5) hope the scheduling quirk will help them stage a late-season surge. But even with Sunday’s 20-19 victory at Philadelphia, Miami is last in the AFC East and a long shot to make the postseason, due in part to an NFL-worst 0-4 record within their division.
