Dolphins Keep Playoff Hopes Alive with Win

The Miami Dolphins have revived their playoff hopes with a 29-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, improving their record to 7-8. To secure a playoff spot, the Dolphins must win their final two games against the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets, while also needing help from other teams, particularly the Colts, Broncos, and Chargers, to lose their remaining matches. Tua Tagovailoa threw for 215 yards and a touchdown, and running back De’Von Achane contributed significantly with a 50-yard touchdown run late in the game. The victory keeps Miami's postseason dreams alive, although they face a challenging path, as they are in a three-way tie for the last playoff spots. The Dolphins' chances have increased from 6% to 12% since their win, but they will need favorable outcomes in other games as well. Overall, Miami's playoff fate hinges on their performance in the next two weeks and the outcomes of several key matchups across the league.
