Miami Dolphins News 1/7/23: Previewing Jets/Dolphins season finale
The Miami Dolphins are on the verge of making the playoffs or suffering one of the biggest collapses ever. If the Dolphins win and the New England Patriots lose on Sunday, then Miami is in the playoffs, which they could have been last week if they had simply beat the Patriots. But this last part of the season hasn’t gone the Dolphins way, thanks in large part to the quarterback position. Tua Tagovailoa had some poor performances then landed in the concussion protocol, while Teddy Bridgewater wasn’t spectacular but couldn’t finish the game last week. So the Dolphins playoff hopes rest on the throwing arm of Skylar Thompson. No pressure rookie.
