Patrick Mahomes terrorized the Houston Texans defense in recent years, headlined by his December 2022 overtime win at NRG Stadium and the infamous comeback in the AFC divisonal round in Kansas City in January 2020. Houston may avoid the modern-day legend in its upcoming trip to Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday.
The Chiefs' star quarterback was removed from Sunday's 21-7 Week 15 win over the Cleveland Browns due to an ankle injury suffered in the fourth quarter. Kansas City head coach Andy Reid noted postgame Mahomes lobbied to return to the game but was overruled, and backup Carson Wentz took the final snaps with a win effectively secured.
