EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Dolphins can relax Sunday, watch some football and know they kept themselves in a strong position to make the playoffs.
Miami’s 34-13 rout of the New York Jets on Saturday night was its eighth win in nine games. At 9-5, the Dolphins guaranteed themselves a winning record for the first time in eight years and put some pressure on other wild-card contenders such as Denver, Baltimore, Houston and/or Tennessee to keep winning.
