That is remarkable, especially considering how the Dolphins started the 2025 season. Miami only won one game through the first seven weeks of the season. At that time, many around the NFL were <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/for-some-reason-dolphins-arent-firing-mike-mcdaniel-yet">ready for Miami to fire Mike McDaniel</a> and have the team start a rebuild.</p><p>But McDaniel and his team have stayed the course and gone on an impressive four-game winning streak to get back into playoff content.</p><p>The Dolphins are now 6-7 and barely hanging on in a competitive AFC. They will almost certainly not make the playoffs, but it must be exhilarating for them to know there’s still a path to make the dance.</p><p>Miami is gearing up for a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-steelers-bold-predictions-week-15-monday-night-football-clash">Monday Night Football matchup against the Steelers</a>. Everything will be on the table for the Dolphins. A win could keep their playoff hopes alive, while a defeat could almost certainly close the door on their Cinderella run.</p><p>So just how long are the odds facing the Dolphins with four weeks left in the regular season?</p><p>Below we will explore Miami’s playoff odds heading into Week 15 of the 2025 season.</p><h2><b>All playoff models agree that Dolphins have incredibly slim chance to make the playoffs</b></h2><p>It doesn’t matter whether you prefer ESPN, The Athletic, or FTN Fantasy. All three models tell the same story: Miami is a <i>huge </i>underdog to make the playoffs.</p><p>FTN Fantasy, which uses a DVOA-based playoff model, has the Dolphins with only a <a href="https://ftnfantasy.com/nfl/dvoa-playoff-odds" rel="noopener">0.6% chance to make the postseason</a> heading into Week 15.</p><p>ESPN gives Miami <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46139564/2025-nfl-playoff-picture-afc-nfc-seed-predictions-odds-super-bowl" rel="noopener">less than a 1% chance</a> across the board to do anything in the playoffs. They have the worst playoff odds of any AFC team that is still alive in the race, even lower than the 4-9 Cincinnati Bengals at 3%.</p><p>The Athletic’s playoff simulator also gives Miami a less than 1% chance to make the playoffs, and also puts Cincinnati ahead at 3%. In fact, the Dolphins are not even listed as a team that is “in the hunt” on The Athletic’s projected standings feature.</p><p>The main reason why Miami (6-7) has worse odds than Cincinnati (4-9) and Kansas City (6-7) is likely because of each model’s confidence in each team.</p><p>Cincinnati and Kansas City have been competitive teams over the past few seasons, much more than Miami.</p><p>But the numbers don’t lie. The Dolphins still have a chance to shock the world and make the playoffs this season.</p><p>How can they make it happen?</p><h2><b>Dolphins need to beat Steelers in Week 15 to keep their foot in the door</b></h2><p>The Athletic’s playoff simulator includes a feature that lets you see how odds change based on the outcome of one win or loss. That feature helps illustrate how the Dolphins <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/nfl-playoff-picture/2025/dolphins/#zKzk0GkpZsudcL0k=l" rel="noopener">could pull off the impossible</a>.</p><p>It all starts with a win in Week 15.</p><p>If the Dolphins get a win against the Steelers, their playoff odds can improve to 2% headed into Week 16. Their odds depend greatly on other AFC wild card contenders losing games. Just by running a few simulations, it is easy to see that 2% is about the ceiling for Week 16.</p><p>But the good news is that those odds keep going up as the Dolphins continue winning games.</p><p>In my simulation, an additional win against the Bengals Week 17 does not move the needle much. But it is necessary to keep home alive. Then, the Dolphins could get their odds to 3% with an improbable Week 17 win against the Buccaneers.</p><p>Then they face their final boss, the New England Patriots.</p><p>The Dolphins likely miss the postseason if they cannot beat the Patriots in Week 18. But if they can pull off a huge upset, their playoff chances improve to a whopping 13%.</p><p>And those odds can go <i>even higher</i> if the Dolphins get the right help at the right time.</p><h2><b>Dolphins rooting guide ahead of Week 15</b></h2><p>So let’s assume the Dolphins will win the rest of their regular season games.</p><p>Which other games will have the biggest impact on Miami’s playoff odds? And which teams should Dolphins fans be rooting for?</p><p>The most important games in Week 15 are Bills at Patriots and Cardinals at Texans. Dolphins fans should root for the Patriots and Cardinals in these games.</p><p>New England has a firm grip on the division title, so beating Buffalo does damage to another AFC wild card hopeful. Meanwhile, an improbable Cardinals win against the Texans accomplishes the same thing.</p><p>Beyond Week 15, Dolphins fans would also want to keep rooting for the Bills and Chiefs to keep losing games. Miami’s best shot at making the playoffs is both teams melting down, allowing them to sneak right past them into January football.</p><p>It probably won’t happen, but it is good to know that there’s a path for the Dolphins to make the postseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Meanwhile, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/pittsburgh-steelers/steelers-news-mike-tomlin-provides-encouraging-dk-metcalf-injury-update">Pittsburgh Steelers got the same thing for D.K. Metcalf</a>. And here are our bold predictions for the Dolphins and Steelers’ Monday Night Football battle in Week 15.</p><p>The Dolphins have won four in a row and five of six to improve their record to 6-7. On the other side, the Steelers are 7-6 after a tough 27-22 victory over the Ravens.</p><p>Both teams still have playoff hopes alive, so this should be quite a battle under the national spotlight.</p><h2><b>Dolphins RB De’Von Achane will terrorize the Steelers</b></h2><p>Pittsburgh gave up 249 rushing yards to the Bills. Then they got lit up for 217 yards against the Ravens. And now they face a team that just hit the Jets with 239 yards while almost having two 100-yard rushers.</p><p>This has disaster written all over it for the Dolphins. A clean MRI means Achane will be ready to rock, and the Steelers will have little chance to stop him. Here are Achane’s yards per carry over the last four weeks as the Dolphins have been on a heater: 7.9, 5.7, 6.1, and 13.1. Yes, all of those came against ugly-bad run defenses. But, hey, that’s what the Steelers have become.</p><p>Achane has <a href="https://wtop.com/nfl/2025/12/devon-achane-has-been-the-key-to-the-miami-dolphins-success-this-season/" rel="noopener">become almost everything</a> for the Dolphins’ offense this season, according to wtop.com.</p><p>“You’re not seeing a player just with skill,” McDaniel said Wednesday. “What you learn about him over time is that he’s trying to be great. So I think the work ethic tied to the skill set, it’s exciting because he’s very confident. But some of the stuff he’s capable of doing, he hasn’t got to see himself do it yet, I think, in an NFL game.</p><p>“What I noticed from his college days was that he was never taking hits on directly,” McDaniel said, “which, when players do that, it means the game is really slow for them. It means that he can see a lot, so there’s some natural football talent. That’s a skill. Not just being fast or having good hands, but that’s a skill of avoiding direct tackles that is very impactful when your job is to move the ball forward.”</p><p>Achane says hard work matters.</p><p>“It means a lot,” Achane said. “It just shows the hard work that I put in, that me and my team put in. It’s just a stepping stone of mine, and we’ve got to keep moving forward.”</p><h2><b>Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers will throw for 250-plus yards</b></h2><p>It may not seem like a bold prediction, but Rodgers has only eclipsed that mark one time all season. It came last week against the Bills, and look for Rodgers to continue the momentum.</p><p>The Dolphins are OK against the pass, ranking No. 12 in the NFL with 202.6 yards per game. But they have struggled against the run, standing at No. 25. It may seem counterintuitive to suggest a strong passing game for Rodgers. But look for him to hit multiple big passes through play action as the Dolphins overcommit to try to stop the run.</p><p>Rodgers also found a way to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6877064/2025/12/10/pittsburgh-steelers-aaron-rodgers-downfield-passing-game/" rel="noopener">get the ball down the field</a> last week, starting on the first play from scrimmage, according to The Athletic.</p><p>“(Arthur Smith) wanted to be aggressive on the first play,” Rodgers said. “You guys were talking about we hadn’t completed a pass over 20 yards in a while. We took a shot.”</p><p>Head coach Mike Tomlin said the approach to the downfield passing game matters.</p><p>“It’s a mentality thing, particularly as the road gets narrow,” coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday. “But also, the schematics are a component of it. We knew we would have opportunities. We’ve just been in those circumstances with Baltimore so many times over the years.”</p><p>Receiver Calvin Austin III added, “Sometimes, it’s a matter of taking what the defense gives you,” receiver Calvin Austin III said. “Sometimes it’s a matter of forcing the defense to get into certain looks we can take advantage of. I think it was just a combination of both. Basically, forcing them to be in certain coverages where we knew we would get man-to-man. We were just trying to be aggressive and attack.”</p><h2><b>Steelers WR D.K. Metcalf will approach 100 yards</b></h2><p>Metcalf has only two games over 100 yards, and one where he got close with 95. But he stepped up big time against the Ravens, and his team needs him again.</p><p>Look for Rodgers to take at least three deep shots to Metcalf. And if one of them hits, the volume of targets for the rest of the game will help Metcalf push toward the century mark.</p><p>There <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47257833/steelers-wr-metcalf-miss-dolphins-game-tomlin-says" rel="noopener">is some concern</a> about Metcalf’s injury, but Tomlin said he believes the standout receiver will play, according to ESPN.</p><p>“I don’t think it’s going to jeopardize his availability at all, but it certainly may jeopardize his availability at the early portions of the week from a practice standpoint,” Tomlin said. “Thankfully, he’s fine. I’m appreciative of our medical staff and how quickly they acted, and making sure that he was safe and taking care of him postgame.”</p><p>So which team will pull out a win in this battle? The Dolphins have really shown a lot of spirit after the terrible start to the season. Meanwhile, the Steelers might be a little beat up after the tough win over the Ravens.

In a clip posted by NFL insider Jordan Schultz on X (formerly known as Twitter), Achane appeared on <i>The Schultz Report</i>, where the third-year back was asked who would win a race between him, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle. His response to the question was immediate, instantly adding new fuel to a long-running discussion about who truly holds the speed crown in South Beach.</p><p>“Im winning it.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Dolphins?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Dolphins</a> RB De'Von Achane has never raced Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle.</p><p>But if they lined up for a 100-meter race… who wins?</p><p>Achane didn't hesitate. ⬇️ <a href="https://t.co/PkGPOxSYEx">https://t.co/PkGPOxSYEx</a> <a href="https://t.co/VZ9TTRfjKz">pic.twitter.com/VZ9TTRfjKz</a></p><p>— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) <a href="https://twitter.com/Schultz_Report/status/1998864583759704076?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 10, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The video gained instant traction, drawing league-wide debate about whether Achane’s elite speed truly measures up against Hill’s famed acceleration or Waddle’s effortless burst, prompting deeper conversation throughout the entire football community online.</p><p>The comment from the 24-year-old Dolphins running back carried weight, because his confidence isn’t baseless. The former Texas A&amp;M track star owns a verified 10.14-second 100-meter dash time, faster than Hill’s 10.19. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/fantasy-sports/how-tyreek-hill-season-ending-injury-impacts-dolphins-fantasy-football">Hill</a>, now in his 10th NFL season, has long ruled out the race debate thanks to his 4.29-second 40-yard dash, though he remains sidelined this year with a dislocated knee and is on the injured reserve. Meanwhile, Waddle—now in his fifth season—has stepped up as the Dolphins’ top wideout, continuing to showcase the fluid burst that helps the team stretch defenses through the air and keep its passing game explosive.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-devon-achane-injury-update-is-looking-good-for-week-15">As for Achane, he’s managing</a> a rib injury from a Week 14 win vs. the New York Jets, but reports indicate he avoided fractures and could be available for Week 15. Even with the setback, his belief in his speed hasn’t faded.</p><p>The Dolphins thrive on pure speed, and moments like this show why. Hill, Waddle, and Achane constantly challenge one another to stay sharp, healthy, and dangerous in space.</p><p>One thing is certain, defenses across the league still struggle to match the Dolphins when their speed shows up on film, creating constant matchup problems every week.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Their Week 14 win over the New York Jets kept the faintest flicker of postseason hope alive. At 6-7, Miami is playing its best football of the year. They are riding an increasingly efficient offense and showing signs of the explosiveness that once defined the Mike McDaniel era. With the AFC packed tighter than ever and tiebreakers stacked against them, though, the question now becomes painfully simple. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-mike-mcdaniel-details-changes-catalyzed-recent-winning-streak">Even if the Dolphins keep winning, will it matter?</a></p><h2><b>Week 14 shook up the standings</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Dolphins-V1.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Ed Mulholland-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Dolphins routed the Jets 34-10 at MetLife Stadium. It extended their win streak to four games while officially eliminating New York from playoff contention. Tua Tagovailoa did not have the biggest outing, netting 127 yards and one touchdown. Miami built a commanding 21-0 first-quarter lead. De’Von Achane capped the early onslaught with a rushing TD, while the Dolphins’ defense stifled New York to just 10 points total, with seven from special teams mishaps like a blocked punt returned for a score. It showcased Miami’s formula for December dominance.​</p><p>Despite the lopsided victory, concerns lingered with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-devon-achane-injury-update-is-looking-good-for-week-15">a late-game injury to star Achane (rib injury)</a>. Still, cold-weather execution from Tagovailoa and a balanced rush attack kept Miami’s faint wild-card hopes flickering amid a brutal remaining schedule. The Jets’ offense managed only field goals and turnovers, with Brady Cook’s and Tyrod Taylor’s picks fueling Miami’s explosion.</p><p>Here we’ll try to look at and discuss the Miami Dolphins’ playoff chances and their updated odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/dolphins-jets-bold-predictions-week-14-clash">after their Week 14 win over the Jets.</a></p><h2><b>Why Miami’s postseason odds remain bleak</b></h2><p>Miami’s Week 14 win over the Jets was encouraging. However, it did little to alter the Dolphins’ long-term postseason outlook. According to The Athletic’s playoff simulator, even if Miami miraculously wins its final four games to finish 10-7, its chances of making the playoffs sit at just 16 percent. That’s a shockingly low reward for an eight-game winning streak. As of today, with the Dolphins at 6-7, those same models give them less than a 1 percent chance of sneaking into the postseason.</p><p>The biggest problem isn’t Miami’s momentum. It’s the standings and the tiebreakers. The Dolphins are currently the 11th seed in a conference where the Bills, Chargers, Texans, and Colts all own at least six conference wins. Miami, by contrast, is just 3-6 in AFC games. That becomes catastrophic in tiebreak scenarios. Even with teams directly ahead of them faltering, the Dolphins would need a mathematically improbable series of collapses from several clubs to leapfrog into the seventh seed.</p><p>Worse, two of those teams, which are Houston and Indianapolis, already hold head-to-head wins over Miami. That further buries the Dolphins in tiebreak priority. The Ravens, who also defeated the Dolphins earlier in the season, add yet another obstacle to an already tortuous path.</p><h2><b>Brutal remaining schedule</b></h2><p>If Miami hopes to climb back into the playoff conversation, Week 15 against Pittsburgh is effectively a season-elimination game. The Steelers are fighting for the AFC North crown and won’t be an easy out at home. Cincinnati follows. That is a theoretically easier opponent given their 4-9 record. However, the Bengals have been competitive and remain dangerous.</p><p>The final stretch becomes even more punishing. The Buccaneers (7-6) remain in a heated NFC South battle, while the Patriots (11-2) are chasing the AFC’s No. 1 seed. Those games offer Miami almost zero room for error.</p><p>Realistically, Miami needs to win at least three of the next four to finish 9-8 and hope chaos ensues above them. To finish 10-7, they must run the table. That’s something they haven’t done over a four-week stretch in two years. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/nfl-playoff-picture/2025/" rel="noopener">And as the playoff projections make clear</a>, even perfection may not be enough.</p><h2><b>Encouraging but not season-changing</b></h2><p>Miami’s victory against the Jets showcased some of the offensive firepower fans have been yearning for all season. Tagovailoa delivered an efficient if a bit pedestrian performance, Jaylen Wright broke loose for 107 rushing yards, and the Dolphins showed balance and poise in key moments.</p><p>Even in celebration, though, warning signs loomed. Miami’s defense allowed 3.8 yards per carry to a struggling Jets ground game. That’s an issue that could be exploited by the Steelers next week. Miami also remains weighed down by a minus-12 point differential on the year. That’s a reliable indicator that their record may be inflated by narrow, unsustainable wins.</p><p>Only three teams have been hotter in recent weeks. Those are the Patriots, Broncos, and Texans. Yet unlike those teams, Miami has no margin for error and no favorable tiebreak angles. In that sense, the Dolphins aren’t merely fighting for wins. They are fighting the math.</p><h2><b>Super Bowl pipe dream</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Mike-McDaniel.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Even in optimistic projections, Miami has just a 4 percent chance to earn a first-round bye and only 2 percent odds to win Super Bowl LX. It’s not impossible. Stranger things have happened in the history of the NFL. That said, the Dolphins’ roadmap now looks less like an uphill climb and more like scaling a cliff.</p><p>This is a team that has found life late in the season. However, unless Miami strings together four of its best games in years, not to mention getting significant help elsewhere, the Dolphins may once again find themselves on the outside looking in come January.</p><p>The win over the Jets kept the season alive. But the margins are razor-thin, the opponents are unforgiving, and the tiebreakers are merciless. The Dolphins do have hope, but hope even won’t cut it when time is running out.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Pulling off a miraculous finish or even just ending the campaign on a positive note can probably only be accomplished with a healthy De’Von Achane. The star running back exited Sunday’s 34-10 drubbing of the New York Jets after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-devon-achane-questionable-return-jets-game-rib-injury">suffering a rib injury</a>, but there is <a href="https://x.com/CameronWolfe/status/1998106823522693132" rel="noopener">good news to share</a>. He does not have a fracture and is “highly motivated” to play next Monday, per NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe.</p><p>Achane made it clear to head coach Mike McDaniel that he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-mike-mcdaniel-said-devon-achane-injury-scare">could have pushed through</a> if necessary. The scoreboard dictated a cautious approach, but perhaps Miami will have its dynamic playmaker for a Week 15 showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He will receive treatment and possibly some practice rest ahead of this AFC matchup.</p><p>Achane’s value to the Dolphins is difficult to overstate, especially during a season rife with disappointment and adversity. Although he does not attract the national attention that Jonathan Taylor and Jahmyr Gibbs do, the 24-year-old has been one of the most exciting and productive offensive talents in the league.</p><p>He is averaging an elite 5.8 yards per carry, rushing for 1,126 yards and seven touchdowns through 13 games. Achane has also been a key pass-catching weapon for Tua Tagovailoa, recording 55 receptions for 383 yards and four TDs. The former third-round draft pick’s excellence has been undeniable since he debuted with Miami in 2023. Injuries remain the biggest hindrance in his path to genuine stardom.</p><p>De’Von Achane has avoided major setbacks over the last two years, and the result has been a fantastic 2025-26 campaign. He is intent on maintaining his surging momentum when the Dolphins (6-7) collide with the Steelers (7-6) in Acrisure Stadium.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

A dominant win over the Bills and a nervy escape against the Saints have pushed the Dolphins to 5-7 and, more importantly, shown owner Stephen Ross that the locker room is still playing hard for its head coach.</p><p>As ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported earlier this month, it is now <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47177791/nfl-week-14-buzz-news-updates-fantasy-intel-questions-predictions" rel="noopener">viewed inside the league as a plausible scenario</a> that McDaniel is still on the Dolphins’ sideline in 2026, provided this late push continues.</p><p>That theme was reinforced by colleague Dan Graziano, who said there are “several people in the league” who believe McDaniel could be saving his job with a strong finish.</p><p>Per Graziano, Miami made the dramatic move of firing long-time GM Chris Grier at a low point in the season but chose to keep McDaniel, who remains popular in the building and with ownership.</p><p>With the team heading into a transition period and this year’s head-coaching candidate pool not seen as especially deep, Graziano reports that Dolphins ownership still thinks McDaniel can succeed and that it “would not be a shock” to see him coaching the team in 2026.</p><p>Miami nearly coughed up a 16-0 lead, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-tua-tagovailoa-accountability-nearly-blowing-game-saints">Tua Tagovailoa finished with modest numbers</a> and a bad interception, but he stood at the podium afterward and took the heat on himself, saying the execution and distribution “starts with me” as he owned the late-game stall.</p><p>That kind of accountability, combined with a defense that is still fighting and a scheme players believe in, is part of McDaniel’s argument to stay.</p><p>The margin is still razor-thin. At 5-7, Miami needs wins, not vibes. But with ownership skeptical of the alternatives and national insiders openly talking about McDaniel “saving his job,” the idea of him surviving into 2026 is no longer far-fetched.</p><p>If the Dolphins turn this mini-spark into a real run, the loudest rumors in January might not be about firing McDaniel, but about who he wants as the next GM to help finish the reboot.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Miami beat<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-sauce-gardner-calls-out-refs-after-loss-dolphins"> New York the first time around, winning 27-21 on Monday Night Football</a> in Week 4. Now, Aaron Glenn’s squad has won three of their last five, and Mike McDaniel’s team has won three in a row. We have the bold predictions for the Dolphins and Jets matchup in East Rutherford on Sunday.</p><p>A lot has changed with the Jets since the Week 4 matchup with the Dolphins. They <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/why-jets-2025-nfl-trade-deadline-was-rousing-success">traded Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, among others, at the trade deadline</a>. After that, they benched quarterback Justin Fields for Tyrod Taylor, which has benefited the offense. Miami comes into the game relatively healthy, but will not have Tyreek Hill after his season-ending injury against the Jets.</p><p>The Dolphins and Jets are likely not making the playoffs, but we still have the bold predictions for the latest AFC East rivalry matchup.</p><h2><b>De’Von Achane dominates, scores two touchdowns</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Miami-Dolphins-running-back-DeVon-Achane-28-runs-against-the-Atlanta-Falcons.jpg"><figcaption>Dale Zanine-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While the Dolphins have not been dominant this year, they have one of the better running backs in football on their side. De’Von Achane has put together some sensational games this season. He has over 100 total yards in each of his last four games, which includes three wins for the team. Achane will get up to 125 total yards against the Jets, scoring two touchdowns in the process.</p><p>In the Jets’ Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons, Bijan Robinson did everything in his power to drag his team to victory. He racked up 193 total yards on 28 touches with just one touchdown. Add in Tyler Algeier, and Atlanta’s running backs cruised over 200 total yards. Achane may not have the same name value as a former first-round pick, but he can recreate Robinson’s production.</p><p>The Dolphins will be the latest team to benefit from the Jets’ defensive trades. Quinnen Williams’ moving from New York to Dallas had a significant impact on both run defenses.</p><h2><b>Tyrod Taylor continues solid play at quarterback</b></h2><p>Since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-tyrod-taylor-officially-drawing-start-ravens">taking over for Fields before the Week 12 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, Tyrod Taylor</a> has played well for the Jets. In the win over the Falcons, he threw for 222 yards and a touchdown while also running in a score. Even without Garrett Wilson, he has opened up the passing game significantly and given the team a chance offensively. He will continue that with 200 total yards and a touchdown on Sunday.</p><p>The rest of the Jets’ season is about seeing which young players can be a part of the core. Two of those players are John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell, wide receivers they picked up at the trade deadline. Metchie had multiple massive drops against the Falcons, but Mitchell went for over 100 yards and his first career touchdown. Feeding both of those players, along with rookie tight end Mason Taylor, is Taylor’s primary job.</p><p>The Jets have a huge question mark at quarterback once again heading into a pivotal offseason. Taylor will play out the string and may earn himself another solid contract as a backup somewhere with another strong game.</p><h2><b>The Dolphins beat the Jets once again</b></h2><p>Both the Jets and the Dolphins are playing better than they were leading into the Week 4 matchup. The Jets’ defense has not been able to make stops since trading away its two best players. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have been much better on offense since the dramatic <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-mike-mcdaniel-has-mixed-reaction-chris-grier-firing">firing of general manager Chris Grier</a>. If the defense cannot get to Tagovailoa, Miami will be able to move the ball.</p><p>The Dolphins are three-point favorites on the road and -146 on <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/football/nfl/miami-dolphins-@-new-york-jets-34998259" rel="noopener">the money line</a>, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Achane has the best odds to score a touchdown in the entire game at -150, but is +430 to score twice. Taylor’s passing yards over/under is 179.5, which he has cleared in two of his three starts this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While the win may have given Miami a boost, the path to securing it was far from smooth.</p><p>Early momentum, late stagnation, and unnecessary pressure moments turned the game into a tense battle for survival, which once looked like a blowout through halftime, when the Dolphins were leading 16-0. A key narrative entering the matchup centered around <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-ex-nfl-qb-blasts-tua-tagovailoa-for-creating-witch-hunt">quarterback Tua Tagovailoa facing skepticism</a> due to Miami’s inconsistent offensive finishes this season.</p><p>Tagovailoa ended the night with 157 passing yards, no touchdowns, and one interception, a risky deep ball floated into double coverage right after the Miami defense created a turnover. Even after earning the win, the quarterback refused to deflect criticism, <a href="https://dolphinswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/dolphins/2025/11/30/tua-tagovailoa-dolphins-saints-offense/87542581007/" rel="noopener">choosing instead to absorb it</a>.</p><p>“It definitely starts with me, starts with my performance with how I distribute the ball, how I operate the guys,” Tagovailoa said via Dolphins Wire. “When I’m able to distribute the ball well, the [offense does] well, and the run game helps with that. So as I said, that starts with me.”</p><p>That accountability resonated in the locker room because Miami’s late scoring drought directly challenged his leadership narrative, even if the film says others deserve the finger-pointing. Tagovailoa finished 12 of 23 passing for 157 yards, adding no rushing impact.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Tua Tagovailoa is picked off…</p><p>His 14th INT of the season.</p><p>That was an AWFUL throw 😬<a href="https://t.co/TXZoUNAJi0">pic.twitter.com/TXZoUNAJi0</a></p><p>— Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1995204409970807102?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 30, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The Saints’ defense forced constant movement, collapsing Miami’s protection and bringing him down for four sacks. Despite the loss, the Dolphins are looking sharp to move up from (5-7) if they hold serve before traveling to the Meadowlands for a Week 14 matchup with the (3-9) New York Jets.</p><p>However, the Dolphins still need a string of wins to push toward postseason contention, but Tagovailoa’s willingness to take the bullet for a game Miami almost dropped might be the turning point that steadies what comes next.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
