The Kansas City Chiefs are poised to make history as they aim for a three-peat, starting with a divisional round matchup against C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans this Saturday. Patrick Mahomes holds an impressive 14-0 postseason record against quarterbacks outside of Joe Burrow and Tom Brady, and his divisional round performance has been flawless. Meanwhile, the Texans face a daunting challenge as they have yet to win a playoff game on the road and have historically struggled in this round.
In their last encounter, a pivotal moment occurred when Tank Dell caught a game-tying touchdown but was injured, leading to the Chiefs pulling away for a 14th victory. As the Texans regroup after their Wild Card win over the Los Angeles Chargers, they must strategize effectively to upset Mahomes and the Chiefs. Key strategies include limiting Mahomes' rushing ability, winning the turnover battle, and finding another offensive weapon to complement Joe Mixon and Nico Collins.
