In one of the most highly anticipated games of the 2023 regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs improved to 7-2, while the Miami Dolphins fell to 6-3 as the Chiefs took a 21-14 victory on Sunday.

Kansas City got off to a 21-0 halftime lead, with Patrick Mahomes throwing two touchdown passes to Rashee Rice and Jerick McKinnon. The defense scored a touchdown as Bryan Cook returned a 59-yard for a score.

The Dolphins looked to make a second-half comeback, and they almost did. Their defense was lights out and didn't allow the Chiefs to score another point.

Miami scored two third-quarter touchdowns to make it a 21-14 game with 15 minutes left of play. Tua Tagovailoa connected with Cedrick Wilson Jr. on a 31-yard touchdown pass, and Raheem Mostert scored on a 13-yard run.

On their last drive, Tagovailoa made a few costly mistakes. He underthrew Wilson on third down, and then on the next play, he fumbled the snap on fourth down as the Chiefs stopped them for the win.
