Dolphins’ best and worst PFF grades from wild-card game vs. Chiefs

The Miami Dolphins lost their final game of the 2023 season on Saturday, as they were defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs 26-7 at Arrowhead Stadium.

Mike McDaniel’s team dropped their second postseason game in their two chances during his tenure. This time, between the weather and the injuries, the Dolphins didn’t have enough to squeak out an upset over the league’s best coach-quarterback combination.

On Tuesday, just three days after the loss, we take a look at Pro Football Focus’ grades to see how the advanced analytics determined the Dolphins did on Saturday against the Chiefs.
