Dolphins still control playoff fate despite recent losses

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Mike McDaniel understands the NFL is a results-oriented business, but he thought the Miami Dolphins showed plenty of positive signs in their 32-29 loss to Buffalo on Sunday. “So had we played like that for the whole season, we’d be feeling a lot different because it wouldn’t be the third loss in a row.” Behind an improved performance from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins’ offense, Miami held a fourth-quarter lead against the Bills and were a few missed opportunities away from sweeping Buffalo for the season. Miami is slipping at the wrong time, but the Dolphins will make the playoffs in McDaniel’s first year as head coach if they beat New England in Week 17 and the Jets in Week 18. McDaniel said Miami strayed away from the run game down the stretch to “stay ahead” of Buffalo’s defense. And if they’re blitzing five-man pressures to stop the run, it’s going to get ugly.” WHAT’S WORKING Miami’s passing game returned to form Saturday with Tagovailoa passing for 234 yards and two TDs.
