It’s still an uphill climb, but the Dolphins’ unlikely path to the playoffs is still alive after their Week 16 win.

The Dolphins close the season against three teams who each have a record under .500, giving Miami some hope that they can win out. In order to make the playoffs, the Dolphins likely have to beat the 6-8 49ers at home, along with going on the road to win against the 3-11 Browns and 4-10 Jets.

The 49ers face the Dolphins in Miami on Sunday. We break down what the game means for the NFL playoff picture.

All hope is not lost for Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins' NFL playoff prospects, but they surely have an uphill battle.
