NFL Week 15: 5 Teams That Must Win Keep Playoff Hopes Alive
By Ryan Ratty
Miami Dolphins
Before last week’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, who are another team trying to make the postseason, the Dolphins were fresh off a victory over the New York Jets and they controlled their playoff destiny. Over the course of his career, Ryan Tannehill has struggled with consistency. In Week 14, the Dolphins started the game hot with a 10-0 lead, but the Ravens would end up winning 28-13.
The Dolphins haven’t made the playoffs in 2008, and with the talent they have on this football team, many thought the Dolphins could make the postseason in 2014. Over the next three games, the Dolphins will have to go on the road to play the New England Patriots, and then finish at home against the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Jets. That being said, the Dolphins have a tough finish to end the year. However, if they can find a way to beat the Patriots on the road, it will go a long way in their playoff hopes.
