Former Dolphins who will play, coach in the AFC Championship
The Miami Dolphins have moved onto their offseason preparation after being eliminated from the postseason, but four teams are still in contention, including two from the AFC.
Sunday’s AFC Championship will be a showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals, a rematch from last year’s bout for a Super Bowl appearance.
While no members of the Dolphins will be on the field this weekend, there are quite a few who used to represent the organization that will be coaching or playing in this year’s AFC Championship.
