Kansas City Chiefs’ Playoff Chances Get Slimmer After Losing to Houston Texans
Houston's 20-10 win pushed them to 8-5 and gave Kansas City a 15% playoff chance, with key injuries and turnovers undermining the Chiefs' offense, NFL reports.
- On December 8, 2025, the Houston Texans beat the Kansas City Chiefs 20-10 at Arrowhead Stadium, with CJ Stroud throwing for 203 yards and a touchdown to Woody Marks.
- Injuries sidelined key starters, as Kansas City lost Wanya Morris and Trent McDuffie, and the offense failed to score before halftime, trailing 10-0 at the break.
- Dare Ogunbowale and Nico Collins fueled Houston's offense, with Ogunbowale adding a rushing touchdown and Collins making four catches for 121 yards, while Houston defense disrupted Kansas City's rhythm.
- The loss dropped Kansas City to 6-7, a rare sub-.500 December record for Patrick Mahomes, and Kalshi now gives their playoff chances at 15 percent.
- The result moved Houston Texans into the final AFC playoff spot, while Kansas City Chiefs fell two games behind; next week they face the Chargers and Cardinals, respectively.
