None of those offenses are anywhere near the same efficiency as the Chiefs. The closest might be SEA or BUF.

And MIA hasn't played a decent QB in over a month, and haven't played a top 5 offense since SEA.

This might be a smoke and mirrors situation. Their defense has played pretty well since their bye week in week 8, but they've only played Goff and Kyler, and haven't played a good offense since.

Judging from the film, to generate consistent pressure they have to bring extra men and blitz, and we know you can't blitz Patrick. And their CBs are good, but none of them are good/fast enough to go 1v1 with Hill, and no one can go 1v1 with Kelce.

If I were Andy I'd try to attack using misdirection (Dolphins defense looked susceptible to overrunning plays), stretch the field horizontally and look for big plays on crossers. Try to blow the game open early, and lean on the run game to salt the game away.

MIA may have a good/great defense, but their offense looks kind of simple, they have maybe two or three legit weapons, and none of them are RBs. Find a way to lock down Parker and Gesicki, and make Tua throw to anyone else. Even if they can move the ball down and score, it won't be fast enough to match KC.

But honestly, i think Spags feasts on Tua and this MIA offense. If Mathieu plays, he could have a career-type day.

Only issue is I can see Flores running a bellichick like defense. Xavien Howard is a good CB. They'll hit kelce every borderline legal way possible. They'll probably play bend don't break so we're not going to light them up with a ton of long td passes. Like NE we'll easily move the ball down the field but we have got to be better in the red zone. I don't want to keep trading field goals.
