How to watch Dolphins vs. Browns: Online stream, TV channel, odds, start time in Week 17

How can you watch the Miami Dolphins at Cleveland Browns in Week 17? We break down everything you need to know.

The Miami Dolphins come into Week 17 matchup against the Cleveland Browns with their slim playoff chances still intact, but needing to come away with a Sunday afternoon victory. Even with the win, Miami will have to back it up with a win next week and still get help from some other games around the league to crack into the AFC playoff picture. The Dolphins have not made the 2024 season an easy one, and on Sunday at the Browns, they may not find the victory an easy one either.

Cleveland is just 3-12 on the season, but they are in a great position to play spoiler this weekend. The weather in Cleveland could play a factor in the game, with cold, rain, and wind all expected at kickoff. Add in Miami potentially starting backup quarterback Tyler Huntley as Tua Tagovailoa deals with a hip injury that may not allow him to play in a must win game, and the Dolphins will be facing adversity on the road.
