In win over Dolphins, the Chiefs’ defense dominated on third down

The Kansas City Chiefs' 21-14 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 9 was highlighted by one of Kansas City’s best defensive efforts of the season. The Chiefs held the league’s most explosive offense scoreless in the first half — and allowed it a season-low 14 points over four quarters.

A large part of the Chiefs' success came on third down, where they held Miami to only three conversions on 12 third-down attempts, stamping the game with the brand of defensive football they want to play.
