The Kansas City Chiefs took care of business in Frankfurt, Germany, seemingly carrying the essence of Arrowhead Stadium to the country. The 21-14 victory sealed the Chiefs seventh win entering the bye week.
The offense was scorching hot to start the game with a touchdown on the opening drive. Patrick Mahomes connected with several of his young receivers, while Travis Kelce couldn’t have the same dominating effect this week. Isiah Pacheco was consistent in the running game, while Jerick McKinnon scored on a pass from Mahomes.
On defense, the unit caused turnovers and scored a touchdown from a Tyreek Hill fumble. Bryan Cook returned it for a touchdown from another Trent McDuffie punchout and Mike Edwards lateral as the defensive line pressured Tua Tagovailoa. Keeping the Dolphins off balance all game and holding them to 14 points was a reminder of how important the group has been all season.
The Chiefs enter their bye week feeling good about themselves with a quality AFC victory that can help them late in the season for playoff positioning.
