Poll: Will the Miami Dolphins secure a playoff spot in Week 18?

After losing a fifth consecutive game, the Dolphins are no longer in possession of an AFC playoff spot.

In order to return to the postseason for the first time since 2016, Miami not only needs to beat the New York Jets at home in the regular-season finale on Sunday but needs the Buffalo Bills to defeat the New England Patriots, who currently have the No. 7 seed.

But it’s unclear who will even be the Dolphins’ starting quarterback. Tua Tagovailoa remains in concussion protocol and Teddy Bridgewater dislocated his pinky finger on his right (throwing) hand. If neither can play, rookie Skylar Thompson will start with the Dolphins’ season on the line.

Will the Dolphins beat the Jets in Week 18 and get the help they need to secure the third and final wild-card spot? Vote in this poll.
