The Chiefs remain an anomaly in the NFL this season, as they have yet to score more than 30 points in a game. They join the Giants, Raiders, and Patriots in that category, but the difference is stark: Kansas City is 14-1, while those other teams have a combined record of 7-35.
That’s the magic of Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes led the Chiefs to a crucial 27-19 victory over the Houston Texans on Saturday, moving them closer to securing the AFC’s No. 1 seed. Despite battling an ankle injury, Mahomes threw for 260 yards and a touchdown while adding a rushing score, once again showcasing his resilience in a pivotal late-season matchup.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell hauled in six of his seven targets for 98 yards, one touchdown and five first downs before suffering what looked to be a serious knee injury. Three of his receptions went for 15 or more yards, with C.J. Stroud recording a perfect passer rating when throwing Dell's way.
