MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Pro Bowl receiver Jarvis Landry best summed up the Miami Dolphins’ attitude in the locker room Sunday night after beating the San Francisco 49ers for their sixth consecutive victory.

“We want seven,” Landry said bluntly. “That’s the mindset. That’s the culture here, and we’re on the hunt for it.”

The Dolphins already were mentally moving on after beating the 49ers, who lost their 10th straight game. Miami (7-4) will enter December in control of its own playoff destiny. Sunday night's victory by the Kansas City Chiefs over the Denver Broncos (7-4) puts the Dolphins in sole possession of the final wild card in the AFC with five games remaining. Miami holds the conference-record tiebreaker over Denver.

Up next for the Dolphins are the 6-5 Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore is tied for the AFC North lead and is firmly a factor in the wild-card race. Winning this head-to-head tiebreaker is potentially huge for Miami, which also owns head-to-head victories over AFC wild-card contenders Pittsburgh (6-5) and Buffalo (6-5).

The Dolphins certainly have the look of a playoff team. They have won games in a variety of ways during their lengthy winning streak.

Last week, quarterback Ryan Tannehill produced two touchdown drives in the final six minutes in a come-from-behind win over the Los Angeles Rams. Middle linebacker Kiko Alonso also had a 60-yard interception return for a touchdown in Week 10 to beat the San Diego Chargers, and rookie Kenyan Drake’s 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown was the difference in a Week 9 win over the New York Jets.

On Sunday the Dolphins allowed 475 total yards and needed a goal-line stop at the end to prevail. Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh stuffed San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick at the 2-yard line to prevent the 49ers from forcing overtime.

“I enjoy this team and I like this team,” offensive lineman Jermon Bushrod, a 10-year veteran who's played on three teams, said. “When adversity hits, we really find a way not to let that get the best of us. We find a way to regroup and we find a way to put points on the board.”

Sunday's game was the easiest remaining contest on the Dolphins' schedule. In addition to the Ravens, they will play the Arizona Cardinals (4-6-1), Jets (3-8), Bills and New England Patriots (9-2). Miami likely must get to 10 wins to have a strong chance of making the playoffs for the first time since 2008, which means winning three of the final five games. Things are looking up with the way the team is currently playing.

“We know that, obviously, it’s not going to be easy,” Alonso said. “We just have to keep grinding.”
