It’s likely that regardless of where it was being played — or what happened in the week before it was played — this Week 9 game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins still would have been the 2023 season’s most anticipated game.
But this matchup does, of course, have additional intrigue because it is being played in Frankfurt, Germany — and because Kansas City needs to find a way to win this game after its ugly 24-9 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 8.
Dropping a bad game to a bad team — and then beating a good opponent — is often part of a great season.
