Two months ago, a playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins probably would have dominated the Super Wild Card Weekend headlines. And while there is still intrigue, the two teams’ recent struggles have added a different element to this game.
The Chiefs capped off an underwhelming regular season by narrowly defeating Bengals and Chargers teams that were playing with backup quarterbacks. Miami dropped its last two regular-season games while falling to the No. 6 seed. Injuries has been the main contributor to the Dolphins’ late-season slide. Miami played without wideout Jaylen Waddle and running back Raheem Mostert in Week 18 and both players are questionable for Saturday night’s game.

The key matchup in this game will be Miami’s second-ranked scoring offense against Kansas City’s second-ranked scoring defense. Rest assured that Tyreek Hill is chomping at the bit to play well while sending his former team into the offseason. Hill had just 62 yards on eight catches when Miami fell to Kansas City back on Nov. 5.
Below is all the information you’ll need ahead of Saturday night’s game, along with our prediction.
