Dolphins broadcasters on Sunday praised Chiefs for having a winner’s mentality
Sure, fans have reasons to fret about the Chiefs, but they enter their bye week with an AFC-best 7-2 record.
The defending Super Bowl champions beat the AFC East-leading Dolphins 21-14 on Sunday, and that team’s broadcasters said Miami aspires to play at the Chiefs’ level.
A video shared by X (formerly Twitter) user Clay Wendler shows two pivotal plays from Sunday’s game and the calls by Dolphins play-by-play man Jimmy Cefalo and analyst Joe Rose.
The first was Bryan Cook’s touchdown late in the first half. Rose let out an “Oh no!” when Miami receiver Tyreek Hill was stripped of the ball by the Chiefs’ Trent McDuffie, and Cefalo initially thought the score wouldn’t count (spoiler alert: it did and Rose knew it).
“They’ve got a heck of a team,” Rose said of the Chiefs. “I don’t know who that team was that played against Denver last week but, boy, they don’t look like that today.”
The other play was the Dolphins’ final one when quarterback Tua Tagovailoa failed to catch the snap. Rose talked about the Chiefs having a winner’s mentality.
“You gotta learn to win these games,” Rose said. “You gotta take this back and try to learn from this, but you’ve got to learn how to win these games. I hear South Florida is going to be, ‘Well, here we go: (losses to) Buffalo and then it was Philadelphia and then Kansas City, they just can’t beat those teams.’ And you do, you’ve got to beat some of these top teams and get some confidence that you can do it.”
Rose continued: “One thing about Kansas City, Jimmy, they know how to win. They’re Super Bowl champs for a reason. They’ve done a lot of winning over the last five years, including a couple of Super Bowl championships.”
