Oddsmakers were giving the 10-3 Kansas City Chiefs an advantage of more than two touchdowns as they walked into NRG Stadium for their Week 15 game against the 1-11-1 Houston Texans. The Chiefs guaranteed a playoff berth and their seventh consecutive AFC West championship with a 30-24 victory — but the home team was determined to make things difficult for Kansas City.
At halftime, the Texans held a shocking 14-13 lead after getting a short field from a second-quarter fumble by running back Isiah Pacheco gave them the ball at the Chiefs’ 17-yard line.
