The Miami Dolphins took down the Kansas City Chiefs with a commanding 42-31 victory in Week 3 of the 2026 season. This win solidifies the Dolphins' early-season momentum while the Chiefs face questions about their defense following a high-scoring affair. With both teams looking to establish themselves, the stakes were high in this matchup. Malik Willis was the standout performer for Miami, throwing for 307 yards and an impressive five touchdown passes. De'Von Achane complemented the aerial attack with a strong ground game, rushing for 115 yards. Greg Dulcich also made significant contributions, leading the receiving corps with 93 yards, helping Miami to maintain a consistent offensive rhythm throughout the game. Defensively, the Dolphins showcased their playmaking ability with JuJu Brents snagging an interception and Jason Marshall Jr. recording a sack, applying pressure on the Chiefs' offense. The game's turning point came in the third quarter when Miami extended their lead with back-to-back touchdown drives, forcing Kansas City to play catch-up for the remainder of the contest. Despite Jadon Canady's five tackles for Kansas City, the defensive lapses ultimately cost them in a game that was a showcase of Miami's explosive offense.
