The Miami Dolphins' playoff push got a big boost Sunday thanks to their 22-12 victory over the New England Patriots at Hard Rock Stadium. Coming off a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last week, the Dolphins found themselves tied in the standings with the Baltimore Ravens. They had the tiebreaker for the final playoff spot in the AFC based on a better win percentage in conference games. Sunday's win over the Patriots moves the Dolphins one step closer to the playoffs with two games remaining. The Patriots' loss ensures this will be the first season they don't finish with a winning record since 2000, Bill Belichick's first year as head coach. They had been playing well with four wins in their previous six games entering Week 15.
