It's been 0ver 20 years since the Miami Dolphins won a playoff game. That's a long time ago. And later we will test your Dol-Fan memory on Craig Shemon and Company on ESPN Southwest Florida with a set of Florida Everblades tickets on the line during Trivia. But honestly things are not looking great for them.
Look, this has been an amazing season for the Dolphins. They just finished their most relevant regular season in years. Sadly, they let the AFC East title slip away in the final week of the season with their embarrassing home loss to the Bills. But they can salvage everything with a nice post-season run. However, the Dolphins have a list of things going against them this week. First of all, the team has been crushed with injuries. They are not heading into the post season with a full roster. Also, their confidence may have been shaken by the way they lost last week.
IT GETS WORSE
There's more: They have to play the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead, where they never lose in the post season. Plus, the weather forecast is for sub-zero temperatures. Coming from Miami, the weather becomes like a constant 12th man on the field going against them.
It's a lot to take on but stranger things have happened so hope for the best Dol-Fans!
