Week 3: Chiefs Visit Dolphins as Miami's Season Starts to Slip

Read the full recap →

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.

Pregame AI Prediction

Winner called correctly Confidence: High

How the prediction did

Predicted 31-13 (Chiefs vs Dolphins), final was 24-10. Right winner, with the margin off by 4. Patrick Mahomes went 20 of 24 with two touchdown passes. Miami stayed within 14-10 through three quarters and held the ball for more than 34 minutes, but lost De'Von Achane to a knee injury on the opening drive.

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.
