Veteran linebacker Nick Bolton has been a rock for the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense since joining the team as a second-round pick in 2021. His performance against the Miami Dolphins in the Wild Card round of the AFC playoffs was impressive and helped lead Kansas City to its first win of the postseason as the Chiefs endeavor to defend their Super Bowl LVII title.
Bolton, usually known for his tackling prowess, put together an excellent showing in pass coverage against Miami, allowing just 29 yards on eight targets on Saturday night.

Few players have made more of an impact for Kansas City than Bolton this season, and his outstanding execution against the Dolphins is yet another feather in his cap ahead of the Chiefs’ next playoff matchup.
Expect Bolton to continue dominating Kansas City’s opponents as the Chiefs look to keep building momentum in search of a Super Bowl berth in February.
