EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — As the Miami Dolphins lost to the New York Jets, 32-20, in Sunday’s regular-season finale at MetLife Stadium, the other half of the equation they needed to qualify for the playoffs did not go their way, either.

The Miami Dolphins needed to win Sunday if they wanted any chance at making the playoffs. While the Denver Broncos blew out the Kansas City Chiefs, clinching the final

With a whimper, the Miami Dolphins 2024 season ended on Sunday as they fell to Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, Breece Hall and the New York Jets by a score of 32-20 on the road. The slim hope that was left alive for the South Florida squad to somehow sneak into the NFL Playoffs was quickly dashed as the bright lights of the MetLife Stadium scoreboard showed the Denver Broncos trouncing the Kansas City Chiefs’ second stringers from the jump — a result that needed to be flipped even if Miami were to have found a way to win on Sunday.
