The Miami Dolphins are on the brink of elimination from the AFC playoffs after a 20-12 loss to the Houston Texans. Tua Tagovailoa threw three interceptions, and with the loss, their record dropped to 6-8. To reach the postseason for the third consecutive year, they’ll need to win out the rest of the games, but that’s highly unlikely.
The Dolphins’ chances are already slim, with an NFL-provided 5% chance of making it into the playoffs. They must rely on losses from other teams in their division to improve their odds. With a tough schedule ahead, including games against the San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns, the team’s playoff hopes are dwindling fast.
The Texans’ victory pushed them to 9-5 and secured a No. 4 seed in the AFC playoffs. The Dolphins will face a challenging final stretch, with their last two games being against the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns, both eliminated teams.
