Dolphins Throttle Bills, Taylor Lifts Colts in Berlin as Chiefs' Short‑Yardage Debate Intensifies

Kansas City's bye arrives with public pressure to fix goal‑line decisions after the league declined to punish the hit on Travis Kelce.

Overview

  • Jason Kelce urged the Chiefs to install a Tush Push or alternative short‑yardage option that doesn’t rely on Patrick Mahomes, citing Mahomes’ knee history and Kansas City’s recent failures near the goal line.
  • Travis Kelce briefly exited for evaluation after a hard hit from Buffalo safety Cole Bishop, later saying he had the wind knocked out of him, and the NFL’s Week 9 report issued no punishment for Bishop.
  • Miami upset Buffalo 30-13 as De’Von Achane totaled 225 scrimmage yards, including fourth‑quarter touchdown runs of 59 and 35 yards, and the Dolphins defense produced three takeaways.
  • In the NFL’s first regular‑season game in Berlin, Jonathan Taylor rushed for 244 yards with an overtime winner and an 83‑yard score to carry the Colts past the Falcons 31-25.
  • The Jets beat the Browns 27-20 with a 99‑yard kickoff return and a 74‑yard punt return in the same game for the first time in franchise history, plus Breece Hall’s 42‑yard screen for the go‑ahead touchdown and four sacks by Will McDonald.
