AI Recap
AI RECAPThe Kansas City Chiefs rolled into Miami and left with a 48-31 win over the Dolphins on Sunday, turning what looked like a shootout into a statement. It was a Week 3 measuring stick for both clubs, and only one of them passed. Kansas City piled up points in bunches, and Miami never found the answer.
Miami actually owned the individual leaderboard, and it still wasn't close. Malik Willis threw for a game-high 296 yards and two touchdowns, connecting repeatedly with Caleb Douglas, who racked up 145 receiving yards to pace all pass catchers. But the Chiefs answered every haymaker, leaning on a balanced attack with Kenneth Walker grinding out a game-high 64 rushing yards to keep the chains moving and the clock on Kansas City's side.
Defensively, the Chiefs made the plays that mattered. Jadon Canady's interception was the swing moment, cutting off a Dolphins drive and handing an already-hot Kansas City offense a short field it didn't waste. Chris Jones added a sack to stall another Miami possession, and Nate Wiggins led the way with three total tackles. Miami moved the ball, but the Chiefs took it away when it counted, and that was the difference in a 17-point final.
