EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings are still in the playoff picture with three weeks to go.

Although Minnesota lost to the Seahawks on Monday night to drop to 6-6-1, the Vikings would still be the No. 6 seed in the **NFC playoff picture** if the season ended today.

The Vikings will now get ready for a short turnaround against another team that is fighting for its own Wild Card spot.

Minnesota and Miami will play in Week 15 at U.S. Bank Stadium. Kickoff is at noon (CT).

The Dolphins are 7-6 overall, one of four AFC teams with that record, but would be out of the playoffs if the season started today.

Over The Years

The Vikings are 4-8 all-time against the Dolphins in a series that includes one postseason matchup. Miami has had the upper hand of late, winning the past trio of games.

The lone postseason meeting between the two came in January of 1974 in Super Bowl VIII. Miami won 24-7 as the Dolphins rushed for 196 yards and three touchdowns in the win.

Last meeting: Dolphins 37, Vikings 35, Dec. 21, 2014, in Miami

They don't get much wilder than this one.

The Vikings took a 17-14 lead into the fourth quarter in Miami in a Week 16 tilt.

Then the madness began in a fourth quarter that featured 41 total points and three lead changes.

Miami took a 21-17 lead on the first play of the fourth quarter before Minnesota responded with a field goal. But the Dolphins scored again to go up by eight, only to see the Vikings score and get the 2-point conversion to tie the game with 4:46 left in regulation.

The Dolphins then fumbled on the ensuing kickoff and Minnesota recovered at the Miami 5-yard line. Matt Asiata scored on the next play to put the Vikings up 35-28 with 4:35 to go.

But Miami engineered an 11-play, 80-yard drive to tie the game with just over a minute remaining.

The Vikings then went three-and-out, and their punt was blocked for a safety, giving the Dolphins an improbable 2-point lead with just 45 ticks left. Miami recovered the ensuing onside free kick to ice the game.

The teams combined for 850 yards of offense and were 16 of 25 on third downs in an offense-filled day.
