MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins devised a simple plan to keep Khalil Mack out of their backfield.
"We had about four guys blocking him," Miami coach Adam Gase said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Turns out there were enough bodies on offense for the Kansas City Chiefs to practice after all.
The Chiefs opened a three-day rookie minicamp on Saturday after selecting six defensive players in last week's draft, though one of them — defensive tackle Kahlil McKenzie — is expected to transition to offensive guard.

ATLANTA (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs beat the first-place Atlanta Falcons to add even more shine to their upcoming battle for first place in the AFC West.
A big game against the Raiders is coming in only four days, but for Eric Berry it will be tough to top the big-game feel of the Chiefs' 29-28 win over the Falcons or Sunday. It will be even more difficult for him to top his personal role in the win.
