The Dolphins are still in the playoff hunt, though the odds are long. Miami can clinch a Wild Card spot with a win on Sunday and a Denver Broncos loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Miami is expected to be without QB Tua Tagovailoa for the second straight game as he deals with a hip injury. Backup QB Tyler Huntley is likely to start again, and he'll need to rely on playmakers like WR Tyreek Hill, who caught nine passes for 105 yards in Week 17's 20-3 win over the Cleveland Browns.
With Hill listed as questionable (wrist, illness), the Dolphins' offense could be facing a major test in a must-win game.
For the Jets, there's no postseason on the horizon, but plenty of intrigue surrounds this game as it could mark the end of QB Aaron Rodgers' time in green—and possibly his NFL career. The future Hall of Famer isn't expected to return to New York next season, making Sunday's matchup a bittersweet finale for Jets fans.
While the Jets' season has been a disappointment, this game offers one final opportunity to play spoiler and potentially end Miami's playoff hopes.
