"Currently, to me, if you are working in a player out before the game, inherently they're close.

The Miami Dolphins takes on the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday for their Christmas Eve game with a chance to clinch the AFC East title, if their division rivals the Buffalo Bills lose to the Los Angeles Chargers.
