In Week 14, the (6-6) Kansas City Chiefs will welcome the (7-5) Houston Texans to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri for a pivotal game in the AFC playoff race. It will be a primetime battle on “Sunday Night Football,” kicking off at 7:20 p.m. Arrowhead time.
After losing 31-28 to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, the Chiefs have backed themselves into a corner with no room for another loss in the battle for a postseason berth. The Texans are alive in the playoff hunt (and the race for an AFC South title) after defeating the Indianapolis Colts 20-16 in Week 13.
Kansas City’s 1-5 record against current playoff teams this season has eliminated all margin for error in the remaining five games. The (10-2) Denver Broncos are two wins away from clinching the AFC West — and the three current AFC Wild Card teams all have two fewer losses than the Chiefs.
