In a high-scoring affair, the Kansas City Chiefs topped the Miami Dolphins 78-34 in Week 3 of the 2026 season. The Chiefs aimed to establish their dominance early in the season, and they certainly accomplished that with an impressive offensive display. Chiefs quarterback Justin Herbert was nothing short of spectacular, throwing for 596 yards and an astounding eight touchdowns, showcasing his precision and power throughout the game. Velus Jones Jr. emerged as his favorite target, racking up 311 receiving yards and finding the end zone multiple times. Meanwhile, Josh Jacobs contributed on the ground with 39 rushing yards, though the Chiefs' aerial assault was clearly the focal point of their offensive strategy. On the defensive side, the Dolphins struggled to contain the Chiefs' explosive offense, but Cor'Dale Flott made his presence felt with four total tackles and an interception. Quincy Williams added to Miami’s defensive efforts with 1.5 sacks, finding some success in pressuring Herbert. However, the turning point came in the second quarter when the Chiefs scored three unanswered touchdowns, effectively sealing the game and leaving the Dolphins unable to respond.
