Watch: Byron Jones intercepts Patrick Mahomes off the deflection

The Miami Dolphins generated an early turnover in their showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs

One of the biggest games of the week just kicked off, as the 8-4 Miami Dolphins are hosting the 11-1 Kansas City Chiefs. The Dolphins, under the guidance of head coach Brian Flores and defensive coordinator Josh Boyer, might have the ability to slow down Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense.

They delivered with an early turnover thanks to a deflection and Byron Jones:

The Chiefs are extremely creative in how they implement the screen game, as previously broken down on Touchdown Wire. On this play, Mahomes first shows a bubble screen to the left, and then a running back swing pass to the right, before looking to the middle of the field and a potential screen pass to tight end Travis Kelce. However, Andrew Van Ginkel reads the play and deflects the pass, and Jones comes down with the interception and returns it to midfield.

As Tony Romo notes, if you are going to beat Kansas City, you need to “catch a break.” The Dolphins have done that early.
