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.
