Miami Dolphins in the playoffs for the first time since 2016
The Buffalo Bills helped out a division rival by beating another one in Week 18, as the Miami Dolphins won 11-6 over the New York Jets to take advantage of Buffalo’s 35-23 win over the New England Patriots. With that, the AFC playoffs are set, as the Kansas City Chiefs enjoy the only bye for the upcoming Wild Card Weekend.

These come from DraftKings Sportsbook, where totals had not been posted for Ravens-Bengals or Dolphins-Bills as of 5:30 p.m. ET because of quarterback questions for both underdogs. Skylar Thompson was the winning QB for the Dolphins in Week 18, but they’d certainly like to get back either Tua Tagovailoa or Teddy Bridgewater. Tua remains out after suffering his third concussion of the season, while Bridgewater was sidelined with a broken finger on his throwing hand.
Anthony Brown started for the Ravens against the Bengals in a 27-16 loss to round out the regular season. The Ravens will hope that Lamar Jackson can return this week after getting injured in the Week 13 win over the Broncos. If nothing else, Baltimore will hope for Tyler Huntley to be healthy enough to play after sitting out the Week 18 finale with a myriad of ailments.
