Miami Dolphins versus Jacksonville Jaguars in the Divisional Round. The teams who reach this round have already proven they survive a long schedule; the stats that matter most now are the ones that compress: scoring differential, red-zone efficiency, turnover margin. At this stage of the year, the simple math is that defenses tighten and the team that protects the ball wins more often than the team that scores the most. Whichever side of Miami Dolphins-Jacksonville Jaguars cleans up the careless plays first usually walks out with the result.

The early answer is the kicking game, where any swing of field position compounds.
