The Kansas City Chiefs took a significant step towards securing the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs with a 27-19 victory over the Houston Texans. Patrick Mahomes threw for 260 yards and a touchdown while running for another score on his injured ankle. The win marked the fourth straight victory for the Chiefs over the Texans. With a record of 14-1, the Chiefs can clinch a postseason bye if the Buffalo Bills lose to or tie against New England.
Xavier Worthy, Kareem Hunt, and Marquise Brown played key roles in the Chiefs’ victory, while C.J. Stroud threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns for the Texans. Unfortunately, Tank Dell suffered a knee injury during the game.
The win was an impressive display by the Chiefs, who now look ahead to facing the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day. The Texans, with a record of 9-6, will welcome the Baltimore Ravens in their next game. Pop star Taylor Swift was in attendance at the game, showing support for her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Injuries were a concern for both teams, with several players leaving the game due to various ailments.
