Dolphins 13,
Chiefs 10
MIAMI - Miami harried Damon Huard, stymied Larry Johnson and overcame its own sputtering offense.
Kansas City was denied a first down until almost halftime, and a trick play set up the Dolphins' lone touchdown to help them beat the Chiefs.
The Dolphins took an early 13-point lead, but missed chances to build an even bigger cushion because of a sputtering attack. Questionable playcalling by Miami helped keep the outcome in doubt until the final moments.

A fumble on a trick play led to a Jared Allen fumble recovery and return. Kansas City scored four plays later on a 2-yard run by Johnson.
Kansas City got the ball back at their 14 with 3:10 left, but Miami made one final defensive stand.
