BTW last 5 games against the Texans, Chiefs are 5-0 averaging 33 points a game :hail:
Yeah but the playoff game last January was interesting. Chiefs led 13-12 going to the 4th quarter. Texans should've led 19-13 but Ka'imi Fairbairn missed two field goals and an extra point. Special Teams let the Texans down in that divisional round playoff game. The difference was Mahomes hit Kelce for a couple big passing plays including a Touchdown. One of the drives was extended by a controversial 'roughing the passer' penalty. I thought Will Anderson Jr. hit Mahomes cleanly on the third down incompletion.
And the game before that at Kansas City (the 2024 regular-season game) the Texans had a chance to tie it in the second half. On the play Tank Dell suffered a gruesome injury on the Touchdown catch. And Ka'imi missed the extra point. Only thing is we don't have Joe Mixon and obviously no Tank Dell. Haven't had either playmaker all season long. Joe Mixon is a Top 5 power back. Tank Dell is an excellent route runner.
If the Texans had Joe Mixon and Tank Dell they're not 6-5 right now. All 5 of their losses were by one score. They likely win at least 3 of them. 9-2 right now IMO. The 14-9 loss at Rams, 20-19 loss to Buccaneers and the 18-15 loss to Broncos. No doubt in my mind the Texans would've won those three games specifically if they had just Joe Mixon. Much less Tank Dell.
