On Sunday Night, the Kansas City Chiefs face the Houston Texans We welcome Scott Barzilla of Battle Red Blog — our sister SBNation site covering the Texans — for Five Questions with the Enemy*.*
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....

The Kansas City Chiefs are 6-6 after Thanksgiving’s 31-28 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, which has put the team close to elimination from the postseason. Now the team has had a mini-bye to prepare for hosting the Houston Texans in this week’s episode of “Sunday Night Football.”

As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for their Week 14 matchup with the Houston Texans, offensive coordinator Matt Nagy carries a clear sense of urgency — and a firm understanding that his unit hasn’t played to its standard.
Much of the struggle begins up front. Kansas City has allowed 10 sacks in the three games since its bye, with injuries forcing constant shuffling along the offensive line. Nagy described each week as a collaborative effort among himself, head coach Andy Reid and offensive line coach Andy Heck to assemble the best available group.
“There’s a little bit of a process...

In the NFL’s Week 14, the (6-6) Kansas City Chiefs will host the (7-5) Houston Texans on “Sunday Night Football,” with kickoff scheduled for 7:20 PM Arrowhead Time.
The Chiefs desperately need a victory to remain in playoff contention. The Texans — starting with quarterback C.J. Stroud — are not going to make it easy for them.
“[He’s a] pocket passer — standing in the pocket tall,” noted defensive tackle Chris Jones on Thursday. “[He] will take a hit [and] can deliver every throw. So it’s a challenge for us — but we’re looking forward to it.”
Stroud can also...

Texans +3.5: “We know Houston is the No. 1 scoring defense and in total yards allowed, which will give K.C. headaches. What you might not know is that the Texans are an ideal matchup to nullify Patrick Mahomes‘ improvisation. Mahomes leads the NFL in passing yards outside of the pocket (73.4 per game), while the Texans are giving up the fewest passing yards per game (11.0) on throws outside of the pocket. For reference, this Houston defense held...
