Chiefs Slip to 6-7 With 20-10 Loss to Texans as Kelce’s Late Bobble Proves Costly

Mahomes publicly backed the 36-year-old tight end, noting he cherishes each season with him as Kansas City’s playoff odds near 15 percent.

Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud was sacked three times but still outdueled Mahomes.

Overview

  • Houston intercepted Patrick Mahomes three times and closed out a 20-10 win at Arrowhead, ending Kansas City’s nine-year run of AFC West titles.
  • With the Chiefs down seven late, a pass that hit Travis Kelce’s hands was bobbled to linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair for a sealing interception.
  • Mahomes finished 14-of-33 for 160 yards with no touchdowns and three picks, registering career-worst efficiency metrics in the defeat.
  • Playoff models from NFL.com and The Athletic put Kansas City’s postseason chances around 15–16%, leaving a likely win-out scenario starting with the Chargers next.
  • Kelce extended his consecutive-games-with-a-catch streak and remains among the league’s top tight ends by yardage, though he says he will decide on his future after the season and faced online calls to retire.
