The Miami Dolphins have all but been eliminated from playoff contention after losing to the Houston Texans on Sunday, and the team would need a miracle and a few teams to lose the remainder of their games for them to secure a playoff spot. The Cleveland Browns are also not playoff-bound and have sadly regressed in a big way since their playoff run in 2023.
Due to both teams seemingly not playing for a future in January, the planned Sunday Night Football primetime game between the Dolphins and Browns has been flexed out of its spot in Week 17.
Instead of the country tuning into a primetime showdown between two non-playoff teams, the NFL has chosen to replace it with the Atlanta Falcons vs. Washington Commanders.
