Texans Stifle Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs in 20-10 Victory to Keep Pace in AFC South Race

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.
