The Dolphins are still alive for the AFC’s No. 7 seed.

Despite missing Tua Tagovailoa and Jaylen Waddle, Miami overwhelmed Cleveland for a 20-3 victory. That sets up a significant matchup with the Jets next weekend.

Tyler Huntley started in Tagovialoa’s stead and performed well. While the Dolphins had just a 6-3 lead over Cleveland at halftime, the Dolphins got separation in the second half with a 13-yard rushing touchdown by Tyler Huntley and a 7-yard touchdown pass from Huntley to Jonnu Smith.

Huntley finished the game 22-of-26 for 225 yards. He also rushed for 52 yards on seven carries to lead the team in the category.

Tyreek Hill also helped power the offensive performance, catching all nine of his targets for 105 yards.

Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was one of the team’s few bright spots on the day, as he picked up 2.0 sacks to make some history. He became the first player in NFL history to record at least 14 sacks in four consecutive seasons, with the sack becoming official in 1982. He also became the third player to record at least 13 sacks in five of his first eight seasons, joining Reggie White and T.J. Watt.

But aside from that, the Browns were overmatched. Dorian Thompson-Robinson finished 24-of-47 passing for 170 yards with an interception and a lost fumble. He’s now thrown six interceptions and zero touchdown passes this year. He’s also the only quarterback since 2000 to throw 10 career interceptions with one or zero touchdowns (he threw one TD last year).

Jerry Jeudy set a new career high with 12 catches, finishing with 94 yards.

The 8-8 Dolphins will be on the road to play the Jets next week. They need a victory and then the Carson Wentz-led Chiefs to beat the Broncos in order to capture the AFC’s No. 7 seed.

For the Browns, a miserable 3-13 season is about to come to an end. They will be on the road to face the Ravens in Week 18.

Dolphins vs Jets Week 18 schedule announced

The NFL has announced the Week 18 schedule, slotting all of the games into Saturday and Sunday kickoff times. The league typically waits until the playoff standings are as little more finalized heading into the final week of the year to schedule each game’s start in an effort to maximize the drama and to prevent unfair advantages for teams. Week 17 will conclude on Monday as the Detroit Lions visit the San Francisco 49ers.

In the AFC playoff picture, there is one wild card position still to be decided, with the Denver Broncos clinching the spot with a win. If the Broncos lose and the Miami Dolphins win, they will jump into the seventh seed spot. If both Denver and Miami lose and the Cincinnati Bengals win, they will have that final position.

As for seeding in the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs are locked into the top spot, while the Buffalo Bills will be the second seed. The Baltimore Ravens are currently the third seed, but they have not clinched the AFC North title, with a possibility the Pittsburgh Steelers, sitting in the fifth seed position right now, could jump into the division title and shake up the order. The Houston Texans are guaranteed the fourth seed. The Los Angeles Chargers are currently the sixth seed, but could still move around the wild card seeding.

The NFC side of the bracket is essentially down to seeding, though there is still a division title to be decided as well. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are still battling with the Atlanta Falcons for the NFC South title.

The highlight game for the NFC will be the Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions game. While the Lions still have to play the 49ers tomorrow, the top seed and the NFC North title will be decided by the Week 18 game. The Philadelphia Eagles claimed the NFC East and the second seed this week, while the Rams should be the third seed and the Buccaneers or Falcons will be the fourth seed.

The league considers all these possibilities – along with the draft order possibilities where the New England Patriots are now in position to claim the number one overall pick – as they build the Week 18 schedule. Here is what was announced tonight:
