The Miami Dolphins face a slim chance of making the playoffs as they need to win against the Jets and rely on the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Denver Broncos. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has confirmed that star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and other key players will be rested for the final game, prioritizing player safety over playoff implications. This decision has significant consequences for teams like the Dolphins, who are hoping for a Chiefs victory to secure a playoff spot.
