The Kansas City Chiefs head on the road to square off against the winless Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on September 27, 2026. Kansas City is looking to extend its undefeated record to 3-0 during this Week 3 clash of the NFL season.
Kansas City enters Sunday’s contest following solid victories over the Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts. The offense has clicked early, putting up more than 30 points in each of their first two outings. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes has looked sharp, connecting quickly with targets like tight end Travis Kelce, while newly added running back Kenneth Walker III has provided a strong ground presence.
Defensively, the Chiefs have experienced some mixed results under coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. After limiting the opposition to just 176 total yards in their season opener, the defense surrendered 329 yards without recording a single sack against Indianapolis in Week 2. Spagnuolo addressed these inconsistencies during his press briefing on Thursday, emphasizing the need for a focused bounce-back performance.
Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins are searching for their first victory of the 2026 campaign during their home opener. Facing a tough test against the defending AFC powerhouses, Miami will lean on home-field advantage and playmakers like running back De’Von Achane to slow down the visiting squad.
Oddsmakers and analysts widely view the Chiefs as strong favorites to maintain their momentum and advance to 3-0, though team leadership has warned against taking any opponent lightly on the road.
