5 takeaways from the Kansas City Chiefs’ 34-20 win over the Houston Texans in Week 1

We were presented with one of the greatest games of the season last year when the Kansas City Chiefs erased a 24-point deficit against the Houston Texans in the divisional round of the playoffs, so we were all expecting another game full of fireworks to open up the 2020 NFL season.

There wasn't a single 20-plus-yard pass completed until garbage time late in the fourth quarter of the Week 1 opener, and the Chiefs managed to blow out the Texans using quick passes and a load of underneath concepts.
