The Miami Dolphins are working on finding the toughest route imaginable to the Playoffs if they are going to make the post-season tournament this year, but they are still in the middle of the chase of January football. Despite a three-game losing streak earlier this year, and now back-to-back losses, and an 0-4 record in the AFC East, the Dolphins do find themselves still in the hunt for an AFC Playoff berth.
Currently, the New England Patriots, leading the AFC East at 8-0, hold the top seed, while the Cincinnati Bengals, the AFC North leaders and an identical 8-0 record, are in the second seed, losing the strength of victory tiebreak.
