The Miami Dolphins' playoff hopes are on the line as they watch the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers face off in the first-ever flexed Thursday night game. The outcome of this crucial matchup could significantly impact Miami's chances of securing a third consecutive playoff berth.
The Week 16 slate of NFL games will kick off with the first-ever flexed Thursday night game, and it's a game that potentially could have major implications for the Miami Dolphins .
The Dolphins, Colts and Bengals are two games behind the Chargers for the last playoff spot, with the Broncos and Baltimore Ravens both at 9-5. Because the Dolphins can finish no better than 9-8, it means one more loss for them or one more victory for either the Broncos or Ravens would mean they couldn't catch them — in other words, the "tragic number" when it comes to the Dolphins versus the Ravens and Broncos is one.
The Dolphins' chances of catching the Ravens don't appear realistic because after two tough games coming up — vs. Pittsburgh and at Houston — Baltimore closes with a home game against the Cleveland Browns.
