Overview
- With the game tied 10-10 late in the fourth quarter, Kansas City went for it on fourth-and-1 from its own 31 and failed.
- Multiple late fourth-down tries ended in turnovers on downs, and the ensuing short fields set up Texans points.
- Andy Reid said the decisions were wrong in hindsight and noted the Chiefs’ strong fourth-down record influenced his choice.
- Patrick Mahomes backed the aggressive approach but said he was a little late on a key throw as Houston closed a window to Rashee Rice.
- Kansas City was scoreless after the third quarter and suffered drops, including a fourth-and-4 pass to Rice at the Chiefs’ 41 that fell incomplete.
