The Kansas City Chiefs are fresh off their first-round playoff bye and gearing up to face the Houston Texans in the AFC divisional round at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday.
The potential returns of cornerback Jaylen Watson and wide receiver Mecole Hardman could provide a shot in the arm for the Chiefs as the team looks to clear the first hurdle in its quest to secure the NFL’s first-ever Super Bowl three-peat.
After an impressive rookie season, Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud remains an impressive signal-caller with tremendous upside. But, the former Ohio State Buckeye will face the most difficult challenge of his career when he faces off against Kansas City at Arrowhead on Saturday.
