The Miami Dolphins are within reach of the top seed in the AFC playoff picture and control their destiny with just three games left in the regular season — we start by wondering if this marks the franchise's most important stretch in the last 20 years. Week 16 features two 10-4 teams looking to keep pace in the playoff picture. The Dolphins and Cowboys — who has an edge?

Tyreek Hill returns to the lineup to face a Dallas defense that allowed James Cook to run for 7.2 yards per carry last week in Buffalo. The Dolphins have one of the league's top rushing attacks and the league's top receiver is returning to the lineup — how will coach Mike McDaniel plan to attack the Cowboys' defense? Flipping the script, Dallas is dealing with injuries to Zack Martin and Tyron Smith — will defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and Miami's pass rush take advantage?
