In a rematch of Week 16, Kansas City hosts Houston in the postseason.
With Wild Card weekend completed, we now know the Kansas City Chiefs’ Divisional Round opponent. Next weekend, Kansas City will host the Houston Texans on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. Saturday on ESPN and ABC (KMBC/9).
The No. 3 Baltimore Ravens’ 28-14 win over the No. 6 Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday and the No. 2 Buffalo Bills’ 31-7 win over the No. 7 Denver Broncos on Sunday means the Texans are the lowest remaining seed.
The No. 4 Texans defeated the No. 5 Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 in their Wild Card matchup on Saturday. Midway through the third quarter, former Chiefs (and current Texans) safety Eric Murray intercepted the Chargers’ quarterback Justin Herbert, returning it for a touchdown. Houston extended its lead to 20-6 — and never looked back.
The Chiefs are familiar with the Texans, whom they played in Week 16. Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy led the way for the Chiefs, catching seven of 11 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes hit eight different pass-catchers en route to a 260-yard day. Kansas City intercepted Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud twice, turning the picks into 10 points.
