13. Miami Dolphins

When looking at the level of competition in the AFC, who would have thought it would be the Miami Dolphins of all teams to earn a Wild Card spot? Adam Gase took over as head coach knowing he would have quite the workload cut out for him with the Dolphins, but he somehow managed to help this team save their season after a rough 1-4 start.

From there, Miami would end the regular season by winning nine of 11 games to setup a first-round matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers during Wild Card weekend. The Dolphins may have embarrassed themselves in that game against the Steelers, but keep in mind the circumstances would have been much different with a healthy Ryan Tannehill.

The New England Patriots have finished on top of the division in each of the last eight seasons, but do the Dolphins have it in them to overtake their rivals? It may seem like a long shot after watching their historic comeback in the Super Bowl against the Atlanta Falcons, but Miami shouldn’t be ruled out if they can be successful like they were during the regular season.

Of course, whether that happens for the Dolphins could come down to the health of Tannehill.
