All the Dolphins have heard all week is how they’re about to get absolutely destroyed on Saturday night in Kansas City. Miami is banged up, Arrowhead is going to be rocking, and the weather forecast is calling for -2 degree temperatures – quite different from the 79 degrees the Dolphins will be leaving when they board the plane in South Beach. Miami is still just a +4.5 underdog though and this has been a down year for the Chiefs (by their standards) so will we actually get a competitive wild card game here? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All things being equal this would have been an exciting matchup that had the potential to turn into a real offensive display of mastery. The -2 degree temperatures don’t exactly cater to offenses though, which actually could benefit a Dolphins defense that lost three more players for the season in last Sunday’s 21-14 home loss to the Bills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miami is signing players off the street to play in this game, bringing in three veteran pass rushers this week to try and slow down Patrick Mahomes <\/strong>and the Chiefs offense. The Dolphins also aren’t healthy on the offensive side of the ball either, with Tyreek Hill<\/strong> (ankle), Jaylen Waddle<\/strong> (ankle), and Raheem Mostert<\/strong> (ankle) all limited at practice. Cold weather and injuries<\/a> aren’t a great combination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
