The Kansas City Chiefs traveled across the pond to Frankfurt, Germany to play the Miami Dolphins in Week 9, and managed to come away with their seventh win of the 2023 season in the highly anticipated matchup.
Led by their exceptionally talented defense, Kansas City manhandled Miami in the first half before seeing the game tighten up in the third and fourth quarters.
Both teams played their hearts out, but the Chiefs’ early lead proved to be too much for the Dolphins to overcome late in the game, despite outstanding efforts by Tua Tagovailoa and Raheem Mostert.
Fans and the media took to Twitter to post their reactions to Kansas City’s big win and didn’t hold back in expressing their feelings about the matchup’s highs and lows.
Check out some of their best musings below to get a sense of what folks will be talking about around the watercooler on Monday morning:

The #Chiefs have Trent McDuffie because of the Tyreek Hill trade.
It needed to be said.
— BJ Kissel (@BJ_KCSN) November 5, 2023
The Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill for draft picks. They got one first round pick in the trade.
They used that pick on Trent McDuffie.
In their first meeting against Tyreek, McDuffie just ripped the ball from Tyreek to blow the game open.
They also won the Super Bowl in the interim

After another short yardage misadventure I’ve got a plan for the Chiefs for next year:
• Sign Jason Kelce
• Have him teach the rest of the o-line the tush push
• Sign like, Cam Newton or whoever
• Only run that on short yardage with Kelce in at center— Bird Law Expert 🇺🇦 (@RealBirdLawyer) November 5, 2023
Death by a million paper cuts. #Chiefs going to spread the ball around until everyone has 34 yards, and until their fans all explode from frustration. https://t.co/cfLcAvCyxP

No Tyreek greeting his former team after the game? Cameras shoulda been all over that!#ChiefsKingdom

Tyreek Hill is STILL scoring TDs for the Chiefs.
IT HAD TO BE SAID @cheetah
— 🗣🎙‼️ (@LanceTHESPOKEN) November 5, 2023
I was hoping the #Chiefs were going to find some ways to feed Rice. Rice and McKinnon are who Mahomes will have to lean on in the pass game unless they can get Kelce open through the bunch to clear space for him.

Even in Germany it’s the home of the CHIEFS. Heard that through the tv

This is so bad. Game winning TD wide open and Tua throws a duck.

The #Chiefs take a lot of dumb penalties and turn the ball over as often as anyone in the league. If they stop getting in their own way, they’re a pretty darn good team. Alas.

It will continue to blow my mind that KC is completely ok letting Pat run option or scramble but they are completely terrified to sneak it

It wasn’t always pretty, but the Chiefs win. 7-2, best record in the AFC.

Travis Kelce has the most receiving yards in Chiefs franchise history.

Respectfully, Tyreek may feel that way. The Chiefs would likely tell you the Bengals are their rival, followed by the Bills. https://t.co/zaOQzV1h2P

i'm being serious here: if the nfl stops rigging the league in favor of the chiefs, i'm going to threaten to stop watching football but keep watching anyway and eventually try to pretend i never said anything in the first place

Trent McDuffie, the main player the Chiefs got in the Tyreek trade, forcing a Hill fumble that turned into a razzle-dazzle pick six is god-tier schadenfreude.
