NEXT OPPONENT Miami

The Dolphins (7-6) had a miracle, final-play-of-the-game victory over the Patriots on Sunday and stayed in the thick of the AFC playoff race. There are four teams at 7-6 battling for the second wild-card spot.

OPPONENT WEEK 14

Dolphins 34, Patriots 33

On the final play of Sunday's game, running back Kenyan Drake went the last 52 yards of a 69-yard, double-lateral play to shock visiting New England.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Ryan Tannehill, QB

Tannehill missed last season after ACL surgery, and missed five games this season because of a shoulder injury. He passed for 265 yards and three TDs against the Patriots.
