The Miami Dolphins (4-3) are on the road to face the Houston Texans (4-3) on Thursday Night Football. The team that wins will be in excellent position for a playoff run in the final eight games of the season two-games above .500.
This fact also highlights how critical a Denver Broncos win over the Kansas City Chiefs is for their playoff chances in 2018. A loss and it looks like the season would be over for Denver after just half a season.
