5 things we learned from Chiefs’ era-ending loss to Texans

And just like that, it finally happened. No, the Kansas City Chiefs are not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, but after suffering heartbreak in the 20-10 loss to the Houston Texans on “Sunday Night Football,” the Chiefs’ dynastic reign over the AFC feels very much at its end.

And while I’m sure there are NFL fans around the globe cheering for the fall of an empire, there are those who have been closely watching Rome burn all year. It’s a bittersweet end to what has been one of the greatest runs in sports history.

Costly fourth-down calls haunt Chiefs in Week 14 loss to Texans

Costly fourth-down calls haunt Chiefs in Week 14 loss to Texans

The Kansas City Chiefs walked out of Sunday night’s 20–10 loss to the Houston Texans knowing exactly what slipped away. Their defense delivered more than enough to win, but the offense again missed too many opportunities — a season-long theme that resurfaced in one of the most critical games of the year.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn’t dance around the disappointment.

“Late in the season, you’re not going to get these opportunities back,” Mahomes said during his postgame press conference. “That’s a good football team. We had chances. We didn’t execute at the right time to win it.”

Chiefs’ Dameon Pierce Signing Is Already Not Going as Hoped | KC Kingdom

The issues facing the Kansas City Chiefs in the rushing game are no secret at this stage of the 2025 campaign. This makes the fact that the Dameon Pierce experience has yet to really get off the ground in Kansas City that much more concerning.

However, comments from special teams coordinator Dave Toub on Thursday only raise the alert level in regards to this group.It’s just a matter of getting ready and learning for offense, Toub stated,...

Chiefs’ Andy Reid gives update on Wanya Morris and Trent McDuffie

The Kansas City Chiefs saw the already-fading playoff hopes go completely on life support with Sunday’s 20-10 loss to the Houston Texans. The loss was costly from that reason and from an injury standpoint.

On the first play from scrimmage, tackle Wanya Morris suffered a gruesome-looking knee injury. Morris was already forced into action after starting left tackle Josh Simmons was placed on injured reserve this week, and right side starter Jawaan Taylor was ruled out for the game. The third-year pro was shown leaving the field in the back of a cart and was quickly ruled out.

Chiefs-Texans Rapid Reaction: 3 takeaways from demoralizing loss

In a playoff-like atmosphere on “Sunday Night Football,” the Kansas City Chiefs lost 20-10 to the Houston Texans.

Here are three takeaways from the game.

Chris Jones put the Chiefs on his shoulders

It didn’t take long for the Kansas City defensive tackle to show he was ready to wreak havoc on a subpar Houston offensive line. To cap the Texans’ opening drive, Jones flew off the line and blew past the outside shoulder of the right guard. Quarterback C.J. Stroud tried to throw in a tightened pocket, but the hurried throw fell incomplete.

That was the first of...

In the Week 14 episode of “Sunday Night Football,” the (6-6) Kansas City Chiefs are hosting the (7-5) Houston Texans in a late-season matchup with serious postseason implications. No longer in complete control of their playoff destiny, the Chiefs need a win against the Texans to make the postseason a 50/50 proposition. Meanwhile, a Houston win will give the team a big step toward a playoff berth — and allow it to stay in contention for the AFC South title.

Chiefs-Texans Inactives: Trey Smith and Jawaan Taylor won’t play

The Kansas City Chiefs have released their list of inactive players for Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.

As expected, neither right guard Trey Smith nor right tackle Jawaan Taylor will be available. Both staters were declared doubtful on Friday’s final injury report after missing the entire week’s practices. The Chiefs will also be without cornerback Kristian Fulton, wide receiver Jalen Royals, running back Elijah Mitchell, and kick returner Nikko Remigio.

With offensive line depth being severely tested, the Chiefs will have four tight ends active on game day for the first time this season.

Safety Christian Roland-Wallace was declared...

Chiefs-Texans Week 14 predictions from Arrowhead Pride

Before the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 13 game against the Dallas Cowboys, all of our Arrowhead Pride panelists blew it: each one of us picked the Chiefs to win. As a group, we expected a 29-21 Kansas City win. That prediction carried 22 points of error* from the Chiefs’ 31-28 loss. Our readers were a bit less enthusiastic about Kansas City’s chances. Just over one in five thought Dallas would win its Thanksgiving Day matchup — and most of those correctly believed it would be a close game.

1. With both the Texans and Chiefs in must-win situations, what will Houston need to do to leave Kansas City with a victory?

The key point of demarcation is 20 points. The Texans have held all but three of their opponents under 20 points, so if they can get to 21 points on offense they have a pretty good chance of winning the game....
