The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Miami Dolphins 24-10 in Miami, improving to 3-0 and dropping Miami to 0-3. Patrick Mahomes threw for 246 yards and two touchdowns, including a late scoring pass to Travis Kelce, while Kenneth Walker III added a rushing touchdown. Miami played without injured receiver Caleb Douglas and lost De’Von Achane on the opening drive; Malik Willis ran for 55 yards, and Ollie Gordon II scored the Dolphins’ only touchdown. The loss came in the first home game for Miami’s revamped team under coach Jeff Hafley, which showed some fight despite its slow start.
