Ahead of Miami’s Sunday matchup with Kansas City, a Dolphins fan revisits three home wins over the Chiefs: a 17-16 playoff comeback in 1991, a 30-10 victory in 1993 and a 27-17 win in 1994, Dan Marino’s final game against Joe Montana.
In 1991, Miami rallied from a 13-point deficit, with Marino’s 12-yard pass to Mark Clayton putting the Dolphins ahead. Pete Stoyanovich also made a 58-yard field goal, a playoff record the writer says has since been equaled. In 1993, backup Scott Mitchell led Miami against Kansas City while Marino was sidelined by an Achilles injury; Bryan Cox knocked Harvey Williams out of the game.
The writer asks whether Miami should use a pick in next year’s draft on a quarterback. He describes Tua as special but fragile, says he likes Malik, and argues that a top-tier quarterback is essential to winning a Super Bowl in this era, while also suggesting such a player can stunt a team’s long-term development.
