Miami Dolphins vs. Kansas City Chiefs: Memorable games from South Florida
Taking a look back at some of the best Chiefs at Dolphins games.
The Miami Dolphins have faced the Kansas City Chiefs in several memorable games in South Florida. In 1991, the Dolphins staged an impressive comeback from a 13-point deficit to defeat the Chiefs 17-16. Quarterback Dan Marino hit tight end Greg Clayton for a crucial 12-yard pass, and the team celebrated the victory from the lower deck of the stadium.
During the game, kicker Nick Lowery had a chance to end the game with a 50-yard field goal, but a flag for holding forced him to settle for a shorter kick. The Dolphins also managed to maintain their lead as the Chiefs attempted a late drive, which was thwarted by a holding penalty.
In 1993, the Dolphins faced a tough challenge as quarterback Dan Marino suffered a torn Achilles tendon during the game against the Chiefs, leading to speculation about his career. Despite the setback, the Dolphins managed to secure a 30-10 victory, thanks in part to the strong performance of backup quarterback Scott Mitchell and the determination of linebacker Bryan Cox, who knocked out Chiefs star player Harvey Williams.
The Dolphins also hold the playoff record for the longest field goal in NFL history, with kicker Pete Stoyanovich making a 58-yard kick in 1994.
