The NFL playoffs advance to the divisional round with the Kansas City Chiefs set to host the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium. This matchup follows their recent meeting in Week 16, where Kansas City secured a 27-19 victory. Both teams are vying for a spot in the AFC Championship, making this clash even more thrilling.

In the quarterback showdown, Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs holds a significant edge over Texans' C.J. Stroud, boasting an impressive playoff record. The running back matchup tilts in favor of the Texans' Joe Mixon, given his stellar season with 1,325 yards and 12 total touchdowns. Kansas City's receiving corps, led by DeAndre Hopkins, appears stronger than Houston's, especially after injuries limited their roster.
