The Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins began battling against each other at -4 freezing temperature. But the weather is not the only thing working against the Miami side at the moment. Just in the first half, the Miami Dolphins took a drastic hit to their roster as the CB Eli Apple is already taken off the field.

The Chiefs started the game with a staggering touchdown and asserted early dominance in the game. Now, with a hit to Miami’s defense, the odds of the KC Chiefs winning just increased potentially. A tweet from Joe Schad tells us about the Dolphins’ next move in the absence of their main CB.

Eli Apple takes an early hit during the wildcard clash

The CB Eli Apple got hurt on the Kansas City Chiefs 1 & 10. He went down during the first quarter and was slow to get up after being hit. In a video on X, we could see Apple on the ground surrounded by the Dolphins’ staff. He could be witnessed stretched on the ground, trying to move himself in order to get rid of the pain.

Eli Apple was helped out of the field by the training staff and the undrafted rookie Ethan Bonner will now play besides the CB Jalen Ramsey. For now, the Chiefs are thoroughly dominating the Miami Dolphins in one of the coldest games in NFL history.

At the beginning of the game, Patrick Mahomes threw two incomplete passes, one to Rashee Rice and the other one to TE Travis Kelce, who dropped the catch. However, it’s not all sunshine for the Miami Dolphins as well. Tua Tagovailoa already got intercepted once in the game apart from some incomplete passes, making things look tougher than ever for the Phins.

However, Tyreek Hill’s touchdown alleviated Miami’s condition in the challenging start. But would his lone efforts be enough for the crucial stage of the game?

The Miami Dolphins struggling for a spot in the future

Tua Tagovailoa threw a 53-yard TD pass to Tyreek Hill in the second quarter of the game, putting the Miami Dolphins on the scoreboard. After that TD, things have come to a halt for the Miami team. But it’s a different story for the Kansas City Chiefs!

It all started with Patrick Mahomes throwing an 11-yard TD pass to Rashee Rice in the first quarter of the game, putting the Chiefs on the map. The second bunch of points came from Harrison Butker with a 28-yard field goal. He repeated the same with a 26-yard FG with 7:36 remaining in the second quarter, giving the Chiefs a much-needed lead.

Things could have been even better for the Chiefs if one of their TDs hadn’t been due to them being charged with an offensive foul and a 10-yard penalty. Alas, while matters seem to be favoring the Chiefs, the NFL is known for its exciting turnaround. Who do you think will win this game? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
