NFL roundup: Chiefs hold off Dolphins as Texans QB Stroud sets rookie record
Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback, threw two touchdown passes, and their safety, Bryan Cook, scored a touchdown on a 59-yard fumble return. The Chiefs played against the Miami Dolphins and won 21-14 in Frankfurt's first-ever regular season game.
The Chiefs did just enough to slow down the Dolphins, who have the NFL's top-ranked offense. The Dolphins kept getting stuck in difficult third-and-long situations. This win made the Chiefs' record 7-2, and the Dolphins are now 6-3, with all three of their losses coming against teams with winning records.
Patrick Mahomes had a bit of a tough time in the second half, finishing with 185 yards in his European debut. Tight end Travis Kelce also had a quiet game with only three catches for 14 yards. However, three Chiefs players combined to make a fantastic defensive play just before halftime. They stopped former teammate Tyreek Hill and scored a touchdown.
In another game, the Philadelphia Eagles, with Jalen Hurts as their quarterback, managed to beat the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles now have an 8-1 record, and they are the only team with this record in the NFL. The Cowboys' quarterback, Prescott, threw for 374 yards and three touchdowns, and CeeDee Lamb had 11 catches for 191 yards for Dallas.
