Because the schedule says so, the Patriots (12-3) visit the Dolphins (5-10) on Sunday.
For New England, plenty is still at stake in Week 17. A victory guarantees the No. 1 seed, while a loss opens the door for the Broncos to clinch home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Tom Brady is also in search of a signature performance to bolster his MVP campaign.

There's much less at stake for the Dolphins.
Miami fired general manager Dennis Hickey on Saturday. Interim head coach Dan Campbell is likely to be in charge of his final game at Sun Life Stadium as well. Nothing but job security and self pride will be on the line when the Dolphins take the field.
