The Chiefs are advancing to the AFC Divisional Playoffs after cruising past the Dolphins 26-7 at Arrowhead Stadium. Patrick Mahomes threw for 262 yards and a touchdown to rookie Rashee Rice, who racked up eight catches for 130 yards on the night. Travis Kelce posted seven catches for 71 yards in the victory.
Tua Tagovailoa [[ TUNG-oh-vai-LO-uh ]] threw for 199 yards, one TD and an interception for Miami, which hasn’t won a playoff game since 2000. Tyreek Hill had five grabs for 62 yards including a 53-yard TD catch in his return to KC.
The game was played in near-record low temperatures. The temperature was just minus-four degrees at kickoff, with the wind chill at minus-27 for the fourth-coldest game.
The Chiefs will learn their next-round opponent after Monday afternoon’s game between Buffalo and Pittsburgh. If the Bills win, they will host the Chiefs. Kansas City will host the Texans who beat the Browns 45-14 if the Steelers win.
