Dolphins underwhelmingly take care of a mediocre (at best) Patriots team.

Dolphins demolish the Broncos.
Chiefs demolish the Bears.
The Dolphins were far more in sync on offense in week 1, but their defense also looked terrible. Chiefs defense has of course been a major strength.
It's hard to ignore 70 points of course, even if the Chiefs probably put up a couple more TDs yesterday if Mahomes stays in... not that those games tell us anything about anything.
If we're talking an ESPN attention grabbing power ranking of the feels right this very moment... sure, give it to the Phins this week. They clearly wanted that prize.

All fair.
Two things are true: that Dolphins defense is really, really talented, but also, I love Andy Reid against a Vic Fangio defense. Few people can navigate Fangio's system defense better. I'd bet on the Chiefs to drop 30 on them.
The problem of course is that Dolphins offense. It is literally without weakness so long as Tua is upright.
The Chiefs defense, and I can't believe I am saying this out loud, looks like a Top 5 unit in the NFL right now and Spags is on a heater. So I'll be fascinated by what they do to slow them down.
Right now, it's shaping up to be the best game of the season.
