[Denver Broncos](https://www.milehighreport.com) before quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw back-to-back interceptions just before halftime, opening the way for Denver to close Kansas City’s lead to just six points in the third quarter.

Looking to bet on this game and win a free $200? Adam and Dalton give their predictions for this contest toward the end of the video. How will Houston look to move the ball on offense without any of its top playmakers available?
Let's look at the lists of inactive players for both the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans as the teams prepare to face off on Sunday afternoon.
From here, the Chiefs will also look to bring back Mecole Hardman and Clyde Edwards-Helaire to bolster an offense heading for its postseason run. The Texans are not even remotely healthy, and they’ve already designated several of their best players as out for today’s game. The Chiefs have been the class of the AFC for the last several seasons, and they’ve put together seven consecutive AFC West titles together, while in the same stretch, the Texans have crumbled once again and are looking to rebuild toward a better future for a team that has never enjoyed anything mirroring close to K.C.’s current run.
Follow KC Star reporters in Sunday's NFL game as Kansas City Chiefs play Houston Texas to try to clinch AFC West title. Here's how to watch.
The Chiefs lead the Texans 8-5, including in playoff games. What radio station is the game on? Chiefs punt again at fourth & 14, and Texans bring it to the 20 yard line. Valdes-Scantling is cleared for play after heading to the tent for concussion protocol. And Texans pick up a touchdown for the first score of the game. Whether the Texans meet Spagnuolo’s expectations and can hang with the Chiefs remains to be seen. Travis Kelce picks up two first downs in the first few drives of Chiefs ball. The Texans pick up 36 yards to Chris Moore. Valdes-Scantling is taken off the field after a big hit to be evaluated for a concussion. The Texans can’t get past a third down, and Kadarius Toney — back in after weeks out on injury — returns four yards. KC and Houston have squared off 13 times, including the postseason, and the Chiefs hold an 8-5 edge in those games. He saw that Kelce moved ahead of him on the all-time list.

The Houston Texans inactives list against the Kansas City Chiefs is still overwhelmingly offensively heavy and that's a big problem.
[He practiced towards the end of the week](https://torotimes.com/2022/12/16/houston-texans-chiefs-scared/) and looked good doing it. Of course, Lovie Smith’s squad went into last week’s contest in a similar state and almost came out the victors, on the road. That trend continues against a Chiefs team that is trying its best to nab the top spot in the AFC Playoffs and earn itself home-field advantage throughout. Having said that, the squad is 1-11-1 thanks in large part to the fact that it has spent a great deal of the 2022 season The first issue of course is that even when the Houston Texans have been mostly healthy, they haven’t been strictly … When the two teams go toe-to-toe, Lovie Smith’s squad is going to be behind a couple of eight balls.
A win will lock up the AFC West for the 10-3 Chiefs, and keep them on pace with the Bills, who beat the Dolphins late Saturday night and are now 11-3.
An argument can be made that the Texans have both the worst offense and defense in the NFL and at least the Broncos have a good defense. The Chiefs should defeat the Texans convincingly, but the defense needs to show up. I’d look for KC to run the ball early and often in this game and just bully the Texans around the field all afternoon long. The Chiefs need a dominant win this week. The Chiefs losing to the Texans is about as likely as me bench-pressing my house. That’s why the Chiefs will play down to the level of their competition and give us a scare. Against such a bad opponent, I want to see two things from the Chiefs this week: not play down to their opponent and how exotic Spags’ blitzes look this week. After nearly blowing a 27-0 lead to the putrid offense of the Denver Broncos last week, the Chiefs and their fans need a palate cleanser. The Chiefs need to get ready for the playoffs and hopefully, they can find their focus by going out and dominating Houston. Despite being 10-3 and tied for the best record in the AFC, the Chiefs are still managing to find ways to drive their fans absolutely crazy. Every writer predicted the Chiefs to win, but it was yours truly who projected a 33-16 win, which was closest to the actual final score of 34-28.

Yes, Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid and the Chiefs are incredible. But like the New England Patriots dynasty, they have benefited from playing in a weak ...
And the Chiefs’ run of seven straight divisional crowns is a testament to their skill and determination. And the same is now happening in the AFC West. Jackson, who was signed to a five-year, $82.5 million contract, and Khalil Mack on the Chargers. Since Peyton Manning retired from the Denver Broncos following the 2015 season, the franchise has gone though myriad quarterbacks, head coaches and now even have new owners. And from 2011 to 2014, no other AFC East teams reached the playoffs or recorded double-digit wins. But the more appropriate and modern comparison is the New England Patriots dynasty.
The Kansas City Chiefs took on the Houston Texans in NFL Week 15, and there was plenty to take away from the outing.
There's still more work to do for this group and while it may have progressed from last week's narrow win in Denver, there's still a ton of room for improvement. In over two decades as a head coach, that's the The Chiefs have more work to do moving forward and their hunt for the No. The 2018-19 MVP winner is firmly entrenched in the tight race for award No. For the seventh year in a row, the Chiefs have won the AFC West. Following some back-and-forth in the final frame of regulation and a thrilling overtime stint, though, it was the Chiefs who came out on top by a final score of 30-24.
This game has been an utter disappointment for the Kansas City Chiefs so far. With their seventh consecutive AFC West title on the line, the offense looks ...
Another persistent problem this season has been the misses on special teams in the kicking game. It’s about wearing down a defensive line that was just teeing off on Patrick Mahomes and the offensive line in the passing game. Houston has allowed a league-leading 2,156 rushing yards on 447 attempts through the first 13 games of the season.
