For the most part this banged up, beat up, and bruised team was in the thick of things sitting at 5-5. After blowing a ten point lead in the fourth quarter against the Colts the Miami Dolphins find themselves at 5-6 and as the eighth seed if the playoffs were to start today.
They are one of four teams with a 5-6 record including the Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee Titans, and Denver Broncos. The Baltimore Ravens hold the sixth seed at 6-5, and the Indianapolis Colts are the seventh seed with the same record.
If Miami wants to make the post season they almost have to win out.
