Final score: Chiefs defeat Texans 34-20 to open title defense

With each NFL year comes a fresh start for every organization — but it was difficult to see the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans and not think of the 24-0 lead the Texans blew in last year’s Divisional round. The Chiefs went on a 51-7 run and won that game by 20.

On Thursday night, the Chiefs only had to come back from seven points, which they did, defeating Houston in convincing fashion, 34-20. The most hyped Chiefs rookie since quarterback Patrick Mahomes, running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire shined as he compiled 25 carries for 138 yards and his first career touchdown.
