In Wild Card win, the Chiefs’ defensive line dominated the Dolphins

On the opening day of Wild Card Weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs recorded a 26-7 home victory over the Miami Dolphins. In record-low temperatures, the Kansas City defense put on a master class as they held the league's most explosive offense to just seven points.

Much of the Chiefs' success was the result of an elite performance by the defensive line. The unit found a way to slow down Miami’s ground game — and then as the temperature continued to drop, it put the heat on Dolphins’ quarterback Tua Tagovailoa during one of the most memorable playoff games in Arrowhead Stadium’s history.
