The Kansas City Chiefs’ exceptional win over the Miami Dolphins was a heartening display for the defending Super Bowl champions. Both sides of the ball got in rhythm early for Kansas City, and NFL analyst Brian Baldinger gave his full breakdown of all the action from the Chiefs’ victory on Sunday.
From their lockdown defense to the quietly dominant offensive display by Patrick Mahomes and Rashee Rice, Baldinger had his hands full getting all the best film uploaded to Twitter.
While he commented on several ways that Miami successfully attacked Kansas City, his notes for the Chiefs were overwhelmingly positive, and hinted at a deep respect for Andy Reid’s squad.
No win comes easily in the NFL, and few pundits know more about the brutal conditions of playoff football than Baldinger, who made a point to applaud Kansas City’s toughness in the game.
Check out some of his best breakdowns from the game below:
