The Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans are set to face off in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs.
Here’s how Kansas City could win –– or lose –– its divisional-round contest against Houston.
How the Chiefs can win vs. Houston
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes should be able to exploit the Texans’ up-and-coming secondary in this game if Kansas City can effectively employ play-action passes into its air attack.
By keeping Houston’s defense off-balance, the Chiefs should be able to leverage their experience to make game-breaking plays in big moments.
How Chiefs might lose to Texans
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is among the NFL’s finest signal-callers and can make defenses pay if he isn’t pressured in the pocket. Should Kansas City’s pass rush falter against Houston’s front five, Stroud may be able to pick apart the Chiefs’ defensive backfield and run up the score.
