Who won the last regular season game between the Chiefs and the Dolphins?
It’s the defending Super Bowl champions against a team that looked like a contender earlier this season. What’s the history between them? Let’s find out.
In what is likely to be a clash of the ages, the defending Super Bowl champions will take on a team that many thought would be the runaway favorites this season. As we know, the latter didn’t materialize but that doesn’t mean we don’t have an epic clash on our hands.
Chiefs vs Dolphins: The lay of the land?
There is no way to talk about this weekend’s AFC Wild Card clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins, without talking about the effect that injuries will have on it. Of course, there is also the form of both sides coming into this one, with the Chiefs having won three of their last four games, while the Dolphins are currently skating on a two-game losing streak. Yet, as stated before, these teams are limping into the postseason. Quite frankly, this game is likely to be decided by those who won’t be on the field rather than those who will.
This is all before we mention the other major factor in this one: The weather. With the temperature in Kansas on Saturday night expected to be around 5 degrees with a wind chill approaching -30, this will be the coldest game that the Dolphins have ever played in, something that does not bode well for a team that has lost its last 10 games when playing in a temperature of 40 degrees or below. With that said, the Chiefs know that nothing is given in the NFL such that they will be expecting a fight this weekend.
“You can’t bank on that. That’s where you get into trouble,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said when speaking on the Dolphins’ record in the cold. “We’re not having a snowball fight.” As for the Dolphins, it’s hard to know where to stand on a team that has given us such a roller coaster of emotions this season. When they defeated the Broncos 70-20 back in Week 3, many thought they were looking at the most ruthless offense they’d seen in years. Unfortunately, several key injuries later and a few bizarre mistakes, the Dolphins come into this one with an 11-6 record and a quarterback - Tua Tagovailoa - who has struggled under pressure and doesn’t play well in the cold. How this one ends up is anyone’s guess, but it should be said that the Chiefs are heavily favored.
What is the all-time head-to-head record between the Chiefs and Dolphins?
The Chiefs and Dolphins have played each other a total of 32 times, across both the regular season and playoffs. Interestingly, the teams have shared the spoils equally during that time with a current record of 16-16 (50%). In terms of recent history, the Chiefs have won the last 4 games that they have played against the Dolphins. It’s worth noting that where the regular season is concerned, it’s the Chiefs who have a slightly better record of 16-13 out of 29 games played.
What is the head-to-head record between the Chiefs and Dolphins in the Playoffs?

When was the last game between the Chiefs and Dolphins?
