Miami Gardens, FL – The Miami Dolphins enter their bye week with a 5-5 record following a recent stretch of inconsistent play, and their path to the playoffs remains challenging. Despite a potential best-case scenario of finishing 10-7, Miami currently has less than a 1% chance of securing a spot in the seven-team AFC playoff field, according to The Athletic.

They lost to the Los Angeles Chargers and the Baltimore Ravens, both currently positioned for playoff contention. While Miami split its season series with the Buffalo Bills, tiebreakers remain unfavorable.The Jaguars currently hold the third and final wild-card position at 6-4, with the Texans, ravens, and Chiefs also ahead of Miami in the race.
