Although a Week 18 loss to the Bills put the Dolphins in the playoffs as a Wild Card team, Miami certainly took a step forward in their second year under head coach Mike McDaniel. They went from a (9-8) team a season ago to an (11-6) team this year and their offensive production increased by more than a touchdown per game.
Individually, Tua Tagovailoa has also progressed, leading the league with 4,624 passing yards while his 101.1 passer rating ranked fourth and his 29 passing touchdowns were the fifth most in the NFL. Despite the step forward, Dolphins fans everywhere just need to see one thing — a postseason win.
That will be a tall order against the (11-6) Chiefs. Sure, they haven’t looked like the same Chiefs that made it to three Super Bowls in the last four years — winning two. But that was then, this is now.
The Chiefs’ offensive numbers have been down throughout the year. Most notably, they've scored eight fewer points per game this season while also averaging 62 fewer yards of total offense. However, despite the numbers, they found a way to record the second-best record in the AFC.
This will be the second meeting between these two franchises this season, but it will be the first one on American soil. The Chiefs beat the Dolphins, 21-14 in Germany in Week 9. That was the first game Miami wideout Tyreek Hill played against his former club since they traded him away before last season. Hill averaged his lowest yards per catch of the year with just 7.8 yards per reception in the loss.
DraftKings has the Chiefs as 4.5-point home favorites against the Dolphins, with the over/under set at 44 points.
Will Taylor Swift be at Dolphins vs Chiefs?
After her viral death stare at the Golden Globes, it seems Taylor Swift will be in attendance for Dolphins vs Chiefs at Arrowhead.
Our source? The educated guess.
The "guess" is that since Swift is off from her Era's Tour until next month and is a new super fan of the NFLit would be hard to believe that she would miss her beau, Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce in the first playoff game of his "Swift Era."
TayTay has attended nine Chiefs games this season and the Chiefs are 6-3 with her in the building.
