It was a Christmas weekend full of presents for Dolphins fans. On Sunday, a host of outcomes in the AFC presented the Dolphins with the opportunity to make the playoffs if they just win their final three games. And on Monday, the team took its first step to accomplishing that goal, beating a short-handed New Orleans Saints team on “Monday Night Football” to move into the seventh and final playoff spot.

Sunday’s road game against the Tennessee Titans marks the team’s first meeting with quarterback Ryan Tannehill since he left the organization with which he spent seven seasons. And it’s an important game for both teams: The Dolphins can maintain their playoff position with a win, while Tennessee is looking to clinch the AFC South title and stay in contention for a first-round bye with a victory.

In this week’s Dolphins In Depth podcast, Daniel Oyefusi is joined by Ben Arthur, who covers the Titans for the Tennessean, to preview Sunday’s pivotal game.
