Week 3: Chiefs Visit Dolphins as Miami's Season Starts to Slip
The Kansas City Chiefs visit the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, September 27. Kansas City is 2-0 after a 33-30 overtime win over Indianapolis in which Patrick Mahomes threw for 382 yards and three touchdowns and the offense gained 523 yards; Kenneth Walker III ran for 117. Miami is 0-2 after a 35-13 loss at San Francisco in which Malik Willis threw for 197 yards and the Dolphins trailed 35-6 after three quarters, following a 27-13 loss in Las Vegas.
Mahomes' offense at full speed
Five hundred twenty-three yards against the Colts, with Travis Kelce over 100 and Walker averaging nearly 5 a carry.
Miami's quarterback situation
Willis has started both games; the Dolphins have scored 26 points and trailed by 29 in San Francisco.
Kansas City's defense after overtime
The Chiefs allowed 30 to Indianapolis; Miami's De'Von Achane is the one matchup that could keep it competitive.
AI Prediction
Chiefs 
Dolphins The gap in quarterback play is the widest of the week
Mahomes is averaging 9.4 yards per attempt over two games; Willis has one touchdown pass.
Miami has not led at any point that mattered
The Dolphins trailed by double digits in both losses and have allowed 62 points.
Kansas City's pass defense is beatable
Thirty points allowed to Indianapolis keeps Miami's projection at 13 rather than single digits.
The widest lean of Week 3. Miami's path is Achane on the ground and a short-field turnover or two.
