US EditionTexans Stifle Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs in 20-10 Victory to Keep Pace in AFC South Race
Houston's top-ranked defense limited Patrick Mahomes to 160 yards and three interceptions, securing their fifth straight win despite Chiefs’ injury challenges, officials said.
- On Sunday, the Houston Texans defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 20-10 at Arrowhead Stadium, relying on the NFL's top-ranked defense while C.J. Stroud threw a touchdown and made key connections.
- Chiefs starters Trey Smith and Jawaan Taylor were inactive, weakening protection for Patrick Mahomes, while first-half injuries to Wanya Morris and Trent McDuffie forced Kansas City to use backups.
- Defensive stops and miscues decided the rematch at Arrowhead as Patrick Mahomes threw three interceptions and the Chiefs managed just 98 first-half yards with Rashee Rice dropping a crucial fourth-down pass.
- The Texans moved to 8-5 and extended their winning streak to five games, remaining a game behind the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC South while Kansas City's postseason path dimmed amid injuries and miscues.
- A reversal of a recent Chiefs edge, the loss snaps a run of dominance over Houston as Kansas City faces the Chargers and Houston visits the Cardinals next Sunday.
