I mean, The Dolphins for example do not have the skill position talent to try to air it out and win a shootout. They just don't, and if they try, they're going to lose by 50.
I know the tendency is to look at the '18 Patriots and Rams games, but those were also stellar offenses.
And our defense was laughably bad at that.
I don't see any offense at the moment that can try to win a shootout with KC. Maybe GB on a good day?
No, your best bet right now is to run the ball, play keep away, and be able to rush 4 and get to Patrick. And offensively you need to pretty much be perfect.

No disagreement on any of this at all.....I just don't get why people just chime in like it's some type of proven formula....it isn't. Does it represent the "best chance" for a Dolphins team to win....probably so, but good luck to you.
P.S. I'll also note that the Dolphins D has given up exactly 36 total yards less on the season than the Chiefs D has.....and that includes the two NYJ Games where they gave up 260 and 263, and last week's Burrowless Bungles game of 196 yds. Additionally, in those 3 games, they gave up 0, 3, and 7 points....(Chiefs gave up 221 yds to Jets, and 9 pts in one game to NYJ).
All others combined: Dolphins are giving up 393 yds and 22.4 pts per game (points not terrible by any stretch, but if they give up 393 yds to the Chiefs, they will lose big)....just pointing out that the D is actually pretty average overall....
What the Dolphins have done is get at least one turnover in every game this year, including 2 turnovers each in their last 3 games....so, if the Chiefs can keep protecting the ball, they will be just fine....
