The Houston Texans look to make history on Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium by taking down the top-ranked Kansas City Chiefs.
With a victory, Houston would advance to its first-ever conference championship appearance in franchise history. Entering Saturday’s showdown against Patrick Mahomes and Co., Houston is 0-5 in the second game of the postseason.
There’s been bad juju with the Texans and Chiefs over the past five seasons. Everyone remembers the last time these two AFC contenders met in the divisional round and how it marked the beginning of a dynasty for one roster and the fall for another.
Houston jumped out to a first-quarter 24-0 lead before allowing 27 unanswered points in the second. The Chiefs would keep the momentum en route to a 51-31 victory and eventual Super Bowl title three weeks later.
But it’s a new age of Texans’ football. Fans believe this season can be different. Here they are reacting to the team’s departure from NRG Stadium and off to Kansas City.
