Dolphins are on the outside of AFC playoffs and need help and a win over Browns to have any chance
Associated PressCLEVELAND — The Miami Dolphins need plenty of outside help to make the AFC playoffs. “This team, what they’ve really gone through and fought for, it’s not a difficult task seeing how we have, a one-game season and our chances at the playoffs are at stake,” McDaniel said. “It’s an opportunity and I don’t think any of us on our team should take this for granted,” said Tagovailoa, who may have more perspective than others given his history with concussions. “Going through some adversity early in the season as a team, that can always be difficult,” Brooks said, “but I feel like during the course of the season, it’s been a great first year getting to play with some of the guys I get to play with and then playing in the system, scheme under coach Weaver, he’s been great for us all year.” Delicate balance McDaniel said much of this season has been about managing a wrist injury that star receiver Tyreek Hill has been dealing with, while making sure that he gets adequate reps at practice. “As a leader, I’ve just got to be able to bite the bullet sometime and practice and get those valuable reps with QB1.” ___ AP Sports Writer Alanis Thames in Miami contributed.
