For what will likely be the final time during the 2020-2021 NFL season, Hard Rock Stadium will play host to a Miami Dolphins team looking to fight their way into the playoffs. The Dolphins hit the road for their final two regular-season games starting next weekend, and then, if they are able to clinch a berth in the postseason, would likely have to play every game on the road as a Wildcard team. This brings us back to today’s game most likely being the final game of the year for the Dolphins at home.
On the other sideline will be the New England Patriots, who, for the first time since 2009, will not be the AFC East champions after the Buffalo Bills claimed that title on Saturday.
