Kansas City Chiefs defeat Miami Dolphins 24-10

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Miami Dolphins 24-10, moving to a 3-0 record for the 2026 season. The victory was bolstered by the performance of Kenneth Walker III, who has been described as a premier offseason addition after signing a three-year, $43.05 million deal. Walker provided essential balance to the offense, helping the Chiefs rank as the fourth-most explosive offense in the NFL.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the offense with 246 passing yards and two touchdowns, utilizing effective play-action passing to navigate the Dolphins' defense. Despite the loss, the Dolphins remained competitive for much of the game, trailing by only one score until the fourth quarter.

The Dolphins' season faces significant challenges following a season-ending ACL injury to star running back De’Von Achane. The injury occurred during the opening drive of the game, leaving the winless 0-3 team without one of its most electrifying offensive weapons during their rebuilding phase.
