The Miami Dolphins need some help from unlikely sources in Week 16 to clear their path to the postseason.
Miami enters Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers facing a 2.5-game deficit to the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC wild-card race.
Miami already benefited from Los Angeles' win over Denver on Thursday, but now it needs more help so that the playoff dream stays alive.
If a miraculous run to a wild-card spot were to happen, the Dolphins need the two other 6-8 teams to lose and for one of the nine-win teams to collapse.
