As expected, the Kansas City Chiefs will be hosting a rematch from earlier this season. The surprise is it’s not the New England Patriots. Instead, the Houston Texans will be traveling to Arrowhead this weekend for a Divisional Round matchup.
While the Texans defeated the Chiefs 31-24 back in Week 6 of the regular season, the Chiefs have improved significantly since that matchup. Kansas City was without Sammy Watkins, Eric Fisher, Andrew Wylie, Anthony Hitchens, and Chris Jones. Adding to that, Patrick Mahomes was dealing with an ankle injury, Tyreek Hill was in his first game back playing only half of the offensive snaps, and Kendall Fuller left the game early with a thumb injury.
