Dallas is looking to bounce back after being demolished by the Bill last week, losing 31-10. Based on tie-breaks, the Cowboys are sitting atop the NFC East, ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles. The Week 16 game against the Cowboys brings two division leaders into a late-afternoon showdown.
The Dolphins have a lot riding on each of the next three games. A win against the Cowboys clinches a playoff berth for the Dolphins, Week 17 could position Miami for the number one seed in the AFC postseason bracket, and Week 18 could decide the division title. Miami enters Week 16 in first place in the AFC East division standings and in the second-seed position in the AFC. Each game down the stretch brings with it huge AFC playoff picture implications. In the season finale in Week 18, the Dolphins welcome the Buffalo Bills, 8-6, to Miami and will be looking to avenge a Week 4 loss to their AFC East rivals. The Dolphins, 10-4, host the Cowboys, 10-4, before hitting the road to face the Baltimore Ravens, 11-3.
The Miami Dolphins host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16 of the 2023 NFL regular season, a game that starts a brutal three-week stretch to end the year.
