In Week 6, the Houston Texans visited the Kansas City Chiefs and served them a second consecutive loss, 31-24, at Arrowhead Stadium. It was sloppy. It was embarrassing.
It was also a turning point.
When the Chiefs emerged just a few days later at Mile High Stadium, forced to play again that following Thursday night against their rivals, the Denver Broncos, they came out a different team.
Stomach punches at home aren’t typically par for the Chiefs’ course, and two in a row was just too much to take. Fortunately, the Broncos provided a carcass on which the Chiefs defense would feast in a 30-6 victory.
