The Schedule and TV information is set for the Miami Dolphins and NFL’s Week 17 games
The NFL has scheduled a 1 p.m. kickoff for next Sunday’s Dolphins game at Buffalo.
The game will be regionally televised by CBS.
The Dolphins will make the playoffs if they win at Buffalo -- regardless of any other result.
But if the Dolphins lose next Sunday, they also can make the playoffs if the Browns lose at home to Pittsburgh or if Baltimore loses at Cincinnati or if Indianapolis surprisingly loses at home to Jacksonville.
The Dolphins would win the tiebreaker with any of those teams (Ravens, Browns, Colts) by virtue of a better conference record. All four of those teams enter Week 17 with 10-5 records.
Miami currently holds the fifth seed in the AFC, with seven teams making the playoffs in each conference. The Colts currently stand eighth in the AFC.
Tennessee is also 10-5, but the Dolphins would lose a tiebreaker with the Titans if both teams lose in Week 17. The Titans play at Houston.
The games involving the Dolphins, Browns and Ravens will be played at 1 p.m. Sunday.
The Indianapolis game will be at 4:25 p.m.
Both CBS and Fox get double-headers in Week 17. The full schedule:
CBS 1 p.m. games: Dolphins-Bills, Baltimore-Cincinnati, Cleveland-Pittsburgh, Jets-Patriots.
CBS 4:25 p.m. games: Arizona-Rams (flexed from Fox), Tennessee-Houston, Indianapolis-Jacksonville, Denver-Las Vegas.
