Patrick Mahomes absolutely owned the Frankfurt Stadium today. The young Chief from Kansas City pulled off a comeback so epic it’s got Germany applauding. He stamped his authority right from the first quarter, giving the Chiefs a solid 7-point lead, making it crystal clear: the only way for them is up. By halftime, he’d stretched that lead to 21 points while the Dolphins struggled to get on the board.
But hold on to your nachos, folks, because as Mahomes steered the Chiefs toward victory, the Miami Dolphins were pulling out all the stops, even if it meant cranking up the aggression. And in a recent skirmish, it looked like the Dolphins might have crossed the line into foul territory.

Miami’s offensive slumber: Refs speak German, offense hits mute
In a showdown where Taylor Swift missed her cue, and Miami’s offense seemed to hit snooze, the Chiefs were ready to rock. The Miami squad struggled to rev their engine in the first half, leaving fans wondering if the referees were speaking a different football language with Clay Martin’s “false start” call in German. Miami hadn’t seen a first-half shutout since their woes back in the 2021 season’s Week 2. But fear not, as Tagovailoa ignited the comeback with a sweet 31-yard touchdown pass to Cedric Wilson Jr. in the third quarter.
Then came the pivotal moment: Bradley Chubb’s epic strip-sack of Mahomes, handing Miami the golden ticket at the Kansas City 27-yard line. Raheem Mostert sealed the deal with a 13-yard run after an unnecessary roughness call on Chris Jones kept the drive alive on a wild third-and-20 play. Mostert owned the field with 12 carries for an impressive 85 yards, proving that Miami had more than just a few tricks up their sleeve. But all in vain for the Dolphins, as Mahomes and the Chiefs clinched a 21-14 victory against the aquatic dynamos.
