MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - When Alex Smith threw his third touchdown pass to seal the Kansas City Chiefs first victory, he sprinted to the end zone to join the celebration, then raised two fingers to signal his teammates to line up for a 2-point conversion attempt. With the offence finally rolling, the Chiefs were eager to pour it on. Smith shook off five sacks, backup Knile Davis ran for a career-high 132 yards, and the injury-plagued Chiefs earned some pain relief by beating the Miami Dolphins 34-15 on Sunday. "Momentums a funny thing," Smith said. "Its hard to put your finger on it, but certainly this helps. This is what youre looking for — a win on the road. A tough win, I thought. This is how you get started, for sure." Smith led touchdown drives of 62, 76 and 66 yards in a span of four possessions as Kansas City took a 21-10 lead. The defence protected the early advantage, allowing only four third-down conversions and sacking Ryan Tannehill four times. The Chiefs improved to 1-2 and won for only the third time in their past 11 games, including the post-season. "I forgot how good winning feels," linebacker James-Michael Johnson tweeted. The Dolphins fell to 1-2, another wobbly start for a team that hasnt won a playoff game since 2000. "We have to look at everything were doing," coach Joe Philbin said. "There was no phase where we played well enough to win." Smith, who ranked 35th and last in the NFL in passing after two weeks, went 19 for 25 for 186 yards, with three of his incompletions dropped. Joe McKnight caught two touchdowns. The Chiefs were without seven starters, including running back Jamaal Charles, who was inactive because of a high ankle sprain. Davis, subbing for Charles, became a workhorse with 32 carries and scored on a 21-yard run. "I think I stepped up," Davis said. "I ran hard — made a few mistakes, but I took the workload today and I enjoyed it." Kansas City totalled 23 first downs despite shaky pass protection. One sack of Smith resulted in a safety, and another by Jared Odrick forced a fumble that set up the Dolphins only touchdown. Miamis Lamar Miller gained 108 yards rushing, but poor tackling and a sputtering passing game doomed the Dolphins. Tannehill struggled for the third game in a row, this time against a pass defence ranked as the worst in the NFL. He went 21 for 43 for 205 yards. Many fans streamed for the exits in the final minutes, while others lingered to boo the offence. Even when the Dolphins put up points, they could look inept. One scoring drive covered zero yards in four plays, sandwiched between rookie Jarvis Landrys 74-yard kickoff return and Caleb Sturgis 51-yard field goal. And after Brian Hartline caught a 1-yard touchdown pass, he celebrated by practicing his putting stroke and was flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct. "I just like to golf, and it just popped into my head," Hartline said. "I guess Ive got to go back to dancing." Philbin gave his many second-guessers fresh fodder. When the Dolphins ran on third-and-10 at the Chiefs 45, they gained 4 yards and had to punt. On fourth-and-2 at the Chiefs 30, they attempted a 47-yard field goal and missed it in a scoreless game. And trailing by six points in the fourth quarter at midfield, Tannehill was sacked trying to throw on third-and-1, forcing a punt. The Dolphins were also penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct when an official ran into a coach along the sideline. Two plays later, Kansas City had its own gaffe, losing 15 yards on a botched exchange on a double reverse. The Chiefs early highlights were a pair of 64-yard punts by Dustin Colquitt. But the offence got going midway through the second quarter, mounting a 62-yard drive capped by Davis touchdown run. They wrapped up the victory with a touchdown after a 47-yard punt return by Frankie Hammond Jr. gave them the ball at the Dolphins 44. Smith hit McKnight to make it 27-15 with 4:35 left. "My hats off to the players," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. "Im proud of them, the effort that they gave." Notes: McKnights TDs were the first of his career from scrimmage. ...

"I dont want to say it was a surprise," team president and general manager Dave Dombrowski said.The Montreal Canadiens play a second game in as many nights tonight when they host former Hab Erik Cole and the Dallas Stars from the Bell Centre. Watch all the action unfold live on TSN at 7pm et/4pm pt. The game is also available on TSN Radio 690 in Montreal. Montreal spoiled the New York Rangers home opener on Monday with a 2-0 win. Backup netminder Peter Budaj stopped all 27 shots faced for his 11th career shutout. Tomas Plekanec and Alex Galchenyuk scored the goals for the Habs, who lost three of four but picked up a fourth straight win on the road. "It was a great team victory," Budaj said. "We did the little things right." The Stars have won two in a row over the Canadiens, including a 3-0 victory in Montreal when the clubs met on Feb. 21, 2012. Lehtonen logged a 31-save shutout, while Canadiens goaltender Carey Price was tagged for all three goals on 36 shots faced. Price should get the start tonight and is 2-3-0 with a 3.20 goals against average and .887 save percentage in five prior meetings with the Stars. The Stars went into last nights meeting in Buffalo having lost five of seven, but made Lindy Ruffs return to Western New York a successfull one with a 4-3 win.dddddddddddd Tyler Seguin notched a goal and an assist to key the win. Ruff served as head coach of the Sabres from 1997-2013, making him the longest tenured coach in franchise history. That run ended, however, when Ruff was fired on Feb. 20 of last season and replaced with Ron Rolston. "Its kind of a huge relief," Ruff said of getting the win. "It felt really strange coming back. Ive always said the fans of Western New York and this area have been tremendous." Ruff also got goals from Jamie Benn, Alex Goligoski and Vernon Fiddler, while Kari Lehtonen backstopped the victory with 22 saves. Winger Erik Cole has been moved up to the top line in hopes that the former Canadien - dealt away last season for winger Michael Ryder - can create a spark alongside Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn. Lehtonen, who has made three starts in a row since sitting out five straight with injury, is 7-4-1 with a pair of shutouts and a 2.46 GAA in 12 lifetime encounters with the Canadiens. Backup Dan Ellis, who is 1-3-0 in five starts this season with a 3.60 GAA, has won his only previous meeting with the Habs. ' ' 'er players who make the 72-hole cut will get Symetra Tour status.
