Kansas City Chiefs advance past the Miami Dolphins in freezing conditions
In the chilly weather, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Miami Dolphins to move closer to making their fourth Super Bowl appearance in five years.
The Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, played a vital role in securing his team's overwhelming 26-7 triumph amidst the remarkably freezing temperature of nearly minus 20C, which stands almost at the record low of NFL.
On a night where Kansas City's offense was all about running, Mahomes managed to throw a touchdown pass along with 262 yards without making any mistakes with the ball.
The Chiefs' plan worked well since they managed to score first within a few minutes and maintained their lead throughout the game.
Miami, with several players sidelined by injuries, did not perform as well as they usually do in terms of scoring. They were only able to accumulate a total of 264 yards. The Dolphins have not won a playoff game since the year 2000.
The freezing temperature caused chaos during the initial day of the wild card round. The Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers game in Buffalo was postponed to Monday as there was a risk of a hazardous snowstorm.
In another game, CJ Stroud managed to successfully pass the ball for three touchdowns, leading the Houston Texans to a huge victory over the Cleveland Browns with a final score of 45-14.
Stroud accumulated 274 yards passing without losing the ball, while Browns' QB Joe Flacco was intercepted twice in the significant defeat.
