Overview
- Patrick Mahomes had one of the worst outings of his career, going 14-of-33 for 160 yards with three interceptions against Houston’s top-tier defense.
- Kansas City’s record fell to 6-7, ending any chance of extending its nine-year AFC West title run and pushing the team to the brink of elimination.
- The Athletic’s estimate cited by SB Nation pegs the Chiefs’ playoff odds around 16%, rising only to roughly 53% even if they win out.
- SB Nation reports the next game against the 8-4 Chargers at Arrowhead is effectively must-win before closing with the Titans, Broncos and Raiders.
- Public debate over Mahomes’ legacy intensified as Kevin Durant dismissed the criticism on Up & Adams and Brittany Mahomes echoed his defense with “Let them know.”
