The Kansas City Chiefs inched closer to clinching the AFC’s No. 1 playoff seed after their win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, and are headed back to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the Houston Texans this weekend.
The biggest news heading into Saturday’s matchup against Houston is quarterback Patrick Mahomes’s ankle injury, which he sustained in Sunday’s matchup against Cleveland.
Though early indications are that Mahomes will start for the Chiefs when they face the Texans, it remains unclear how much the ankle injury will affect his mobility.
