Overview
- With the score tied 10-10, the Chiefs failed on fourth-and-1 at their own 31 when Patrick Mahomes’ pass to Rashee Rice fell incomplete under pressure, and Houston scored six plays later on Dare Ogunbowale’s 5-yard run.
- Andy Reid said he “messed that one up,” taking responsibility for the late fourth-down decision after Kansas City had stifled Houston’s offense for much of the second half.
- Mahomes finished 14-of-33 for 160 yards with three interceptions, and Azeez Al-Shaair’s late pick set up Ka'imi Fairbairn’s 28-yard field goal with 30 seconds remaining.
- Drops undercut the Chiefs’ offense throughout, including a Travis Kelce bobble that deflected to Al-Shaair for an interception.
- Houston won its fifth straight to move to 8-5, and the Chiefs reported injuries to right tackle Wanya Morris and cornerback Trent McDuffie that await further evaluation.
