Chiefs vs. Dolphins live score, updates, highlights from 2023 NFL Germany game

By November 5, 2023No Comments

Two of the most exciting teams in the league are going head-to-head today at Frankfurt Stadium, as Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs face off against Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins. Kansas City and Miami are two of four AFC teams that are 6-2 on the season. The Chiefs are in first in the AFC West, while the Dolphins own the top spot in the AFC East. 

Last week, Mahomes suffered his first loss to the Broncos in his career, as Denver snapped a 16-game losing streak against Kansas City by handing the defending Super Bowl champions a stunning loss at Mile High. The star QB was battling through a flu, but was unable to extend the team’s winning streak. 

For the Finns, they knocked off the Patriots last week for the second time this season, improving to 4-0 at home. Tagovailoa enjoyed another strong game, throwing for over 300 yards for the fourth time this season, while adding three passing TDs.

There is a good chance that the German NFL fans will be treated to a shootout. These juggernauts are two of the top passing teams in the league this year, ranking first and third in passing yards per game. The Dolphins lead the NFL with an average of 301.5 yards per game, while the Chiefs are not too far behind, averaging 276.4 yards.

Chiefs 21, Dolphins 0

10:54 a.m. — Fumble touchdown! The Dolphins try a screen pass to Hill that is blown up immediately by Trey McDuffie, who strips the ball out of Hill’s hands. It’s picked up by Mike Edwards, who then lateraled it back to Bryan Cook and he took it all the way to the house. Just as Miami began to find its rhythm on offense, a costly turnover gives Kansas City seven points with 33 seconds left in the half. 

10:52 a.m. — Miami’s offense is finally starting to click. The Dolphins connect on their third positive play in a row, as Tagovailoa throws an 19-yard completion to Hill.

10:26 a.m. — It’s another awful drive for the Miami offense. Tagovailoa is called for intentional grounding on second down, pushing them back to third-and-20. The completion on third down only gets 10 yards, and it will now be four punts on four drives for this high-flying Dolphins offense. 

10:22 a.m. — On third-and-17, Mahomes completes a pass to Jerick McKinnon, but only for a gain of five yards. It’s another punt for the Chiefs, who haven’t strung anything together since the opening drive that resulted in a TD.

End of the first quarter: Chiefs 7, Dolphins 0
