The Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs kicked off Sunday’s Week 9 action with a huge matchup between two of the best teams in the NFL in front of a fired up crowd in Germany. And while the game mostly lived up to the hype, it ended on two of the ugliest plays of the year.
Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins needed a touchdown on the final drive of the game to force overtime. Instead, the QB threw an awful pass on third down and then botched a snap on on a fourth down, which allowed the Chiefs to walk away with a 21-14 victory.
