Preview

The Chiefs lead the all-time series against the Texans. Houston enters as a 3-point road underdog.

Both the Chiefs and Texans have already secured their spots in the playoffs. The Chiefs, boasting an NFL-best 13-1 record, have clinched the AFC West but still are looking to secure the #1 seed and have plenty at stake in the final three weeks.

At 9-5, the Texans have locked up the AFC South with three games remaining. However, they are in a tight battle for playoff positioning with the 10-4 Steelers and 9-5 Ravens. A road victory at Arrowhead Stadium against the two-time Super Bowl champions would be a significant boost for Houston.
