That stretch will really test if Miami\u2019s got that playoff magic this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Primetime games, Monday night lights, even a glam trip to Madrid, the NFL knows Miami is the city to watch. If the offense stays lit and the defense gets fierce, 10 wins and a playoff spot? Yes, please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get ready for drama, thrills, and all the feels.
