In 2010, the Saints went 11-5 and had to play their 1st-round playoff game in Seattle because the 7-9 Seahawks won their division.
Those are just 2 of countless examples of those types of happenings since the advent of the 16-game schedule in 1978.

In the modern era, it is quite uncommon for 11-5 or 10-6 teams to miss the playoffs. I feel the Dolphins are more deserving than whoever wins the NFC East and the Cardinals at the very least.
