We’re knocking on the door of 2024 and just two weeks remain in the NFL’s regular season before it’s a mad dash to Las Vegas for Super Bowl LVIII. Over these next couple of weeks, the playoff picture will crystalize and we’ll know the official matchups for Super Wild Card Weekend. That said, there are a bunch of different scenarios that could play out and produce some fantastic head-to-heads to open up the postseason.
We’re going to comb through those scenarios and pick out some of the juiciest matchups and rank them in order of what we want to see.
The Dolphins are currently the No. 2 seed in the AFC and vying to step up to the No. 1 seed if they win out, but there’s also a scenario where they move down in the playoff standings. If Buffalo leapfrogs them in the division, Miami would suddenly be looking at the potential of sitting as the No. 6 seed and booking a trip to Kansas City to face the Chiefs, the No. 3 seed and AFC West winner in this scenario.
Of course, the top storyline doesn’t need an introduction, but we’ll lay it out anyway: Tyreek Hill vs. Chiefs. The star wideout would have an opportunity to face his former team once again and have the ability to oust them from the playoffs. This would also be Hill’s first game against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium since he was traded to the Dolphins in 2022 (the Week 9 head-to-head between these teams this season was in Germany). In that international matchup midway through this season, Hill caught eight of his 10 targets for 62 yards. If they met again in Kansas City, all eyes would certainly be on Hill trying to top 100 yards in en route to the upset.
