KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Dolphins sure didn’t look like a winless team Sunday.

The Chiefs didn’t look like a team that had won four straight.

Matt Moore threw for 244 yards and three touchdowns, Reggie Bush had 92 yards rushing and another score and Miami walloped Kansas City 31-3 for its first win of the season.

Moore, who took over after Chad Henne had season-ending shoulder surgery, became the first Dolphins quarterback since Chad Pennington in 2008 to throw three TD passes. Two of them went to tight end Anthony Fasano and another to Brandon Marshall, who finished with eight catches for 106 yards.

Miami (1-7) and Indianapolis had been the only remaining winless teams in the NFL, but the Dolphins had come close to breaking through the past two weeks. They blew a 15-point lead in an overtime loss to Denver and a seven-point lead last week against the New York Giants.

Kansas City (4-4), meanwhile, was the first team since the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2000 to win four straight after losing its first three.

The Dolphins’ relentless front spent most of the afternoon in Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel’s face, sacking him five times and forcing the slow-footed quarterback to scramble nine more times.
