DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -The Miami Dolphins’ most lopsided win this year did little to help their slim playoff chances, and coach Tony Sparano knows it.
The Dolphins (6-5) might fall short of a postseason berth even if they sweep their final five games. Odds are long in part because the Dolphins have lost to the four teams they’re chasing in the AFC race – the Patriots and Jets (both 9-2), and Ravens and Steelers (both 8-3) – and head-to-head results are the first tiebreaker for a wild-card berth.
All four teams won last week, so Miami gained no ground with a 33-17 victory at Oakland. The Dolphins desperately need a December surge beginning Sunday against Cleveland.
