But there are still some offensive problems to be solved. KC: THE GAME’S STAR Choose any defensive player, but I’ll go with safety Bryan Cook because he was involved in the game’s most important play—the fumble, recovery, and lateral—and scored his first NFL touchdown on it. Although Cook was given credit for a 59-yard fumble return for a score, the play was really a team effort (KC corner Trent McDuffie’s ball-jarring-loose hit on Tyreek Hill started the defensive sequence). Cook was also there to ruin the play had Miami not fumbled the final snap. Next: The Chiefs will take a week off before hosting the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.

Both receivers were unable to gain separation, and MVS mishandled a terrific pass that was probably going for a touchdown. There was also this: In two and a half minutes, on third-and-one f
rm the 19In rms of scores and yards, the Chiefs’ defensive performance against the NFL’s top offense was outstanding. To begin the game, Miami had seven possessions without a touchdown. Hill concluded with 62 receiving yards in an attempt to become the first NFL player to reach 2,000 in a season. Chris Jones lost his cool during the needless roughness call that would have forced Miami to try a field goal. What was he thinking? Raheem Mostert, full of energy, raced for a touchdown on the following play to reduce the lead to seven points.
