How to watch the Miami Dolphins vs the Kansas City Chiefs playoff game
A Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs rematch was destined to come sooner or later, with many anticipating a potential AFC Championship showdown. As the results rolled in from Week 18, it was finalized that the teams would square off sooner than anticipated.
Following a heartbreaking 21-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Dolphins bid farewell to 75 and sunny and instead travel to freezing temperatures in Kansas City. In the anticipated coldest game in Dolphins history, Saturday’s weather report projects a high of 7 degrees and a low of minus 3. The outing becomes less about football and more about survival of the fittest.
The Dolphins haven’t thrived recently in temperatures below 40, going 0-10 in the last ten matchups. Miami’s lack of success in cold temperatures and a heavily injured roster contribute to Kansas City being listed as 3.5-point favorites.
While Jaylen Waddle and Raheem Mostert are expected to return to the lineup, Miami’s defense continues to receive bad news. Andrew Van Ginkel, Cameron Goode, and Jerome Baker became the latest defensemen to sustain season-ending injuries during a Week 18 matchup against the Bills.
The Chiefs and Dolphins last squared off as a part of the NFL International Series during Week 9. In a defensive battle, the Chiefs came out on top 21-14 and handed the Dolphins a loss heading into their bye week.
