Anyone who watched the Miami Dolphins play during the final six weeks of the regular season knows that they weren’t playing their best football, but they were still able to find a way into the postseason.
Miami’s skid down the stretch is actually historic for any team making the playoffs, as no team had ever gone 0-4 or worse in the month of December and clinched a postseason berth, according to CBS Sports.

Obviously, that stretch included three games against teams that were in the playoffs (San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Chargers and Buffalo Bills), but Mike McDaniel’s team probably should’ve won at least one of those contests.
Now, heading into a wild-card matchup against the Bills, possibly without Tua Tagovailoa, they have a tough task ahead of them.
