The Kansas City Chiefs extend their lead against the Houston Texans with a series of strategic plays led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes. A 49-yard completion to tight end Travis Kelce sets up running back Kareem Hunt for a touchdown, pushing the score to 13-3 just before halftime. Despite Mahomes completing only 7 of 13 passes for 114 yards, the Chiefs defense makes critical stops, forcing the Texans to miss two field goals.
As the game progresses, Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud shows resilience, rushing for 28 yards despite a knee injury, while the Chiefs struggle to gain momentum. A series of sacks, including a notable one from Will Anderson Jr., leads to a punt from Kansas City. Each team faces challenges in the red zone, and both miss chances to capitalize.
