Can the Houston Texans make it five in row and three in a row against playoff-bound rosters?
The Texans close out their two-game road trip with a battle against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14, where Houston is looking to win another matchup to inch closer toward an AFC South division title.
Houston’s Week 14 game will air on NBC at 7:20 p.m. CT as the week’s primetime matchup. The television commentators for the game are Mike Trico (play-by-play), Cris Collinsworth (analyst) and Melissa Stark (sideline).
The Texans are coming off a statement divisional win over the Indianapolis Colts, where the limitations of Jonathan Taylor on the ground gave Houston the edge. C.J. Stroud made his return to the starting lineup for the first time in four weeks and did little to help in terms of actual scoring. He didn’t throw a touchdown pass, but the third-year starter helped Houston reach the red zone, capping off the drives with touchdown runs by Nick Chubb and Nico Collins.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs are coming off a 31-28 road loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Kansas City stuggled in the trenches, allowing four sacks on Patrick Mahomes. Meanwhile, the Cowboys took advantage of a leaky secondary with Dak Prescott in charge, totaling 320 passing yards and two touchdowns, while CeeDee Lamb finished with over 110 receiving yards.

Texans vs. Chiefs predictions, picks for Week 14Cole Thompson – Texans Wire Managing Editor
Texans 28, Chiefs 20 – Houston isn’t a Super Bowl-contending team, in my opinion, but they’re healthier at nearly every position compared to Kansas City. The Chiefs may have Patrick Mahomes, but the Texans are the only team in the league with pass-rushers who have at least 10 sacks. Going up against a bruised offensive line that’s likely missing both starting tackles isn’t ideal to slow down Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter.
Texans win, thus all but knocking Kansas City out of playoff contention.
John Dillon – Chiefs Wire Managing Editor
Texans 28, Chiefs 17 – I’m really not sure what to think about this contest. I’ve not been overly-impressed with what I’ve seen out of Houston, but sometimes the Chiefs are so utterly dysfunctional that I have no faith in Kansas City’s ability to win any particular matchup. I suspect the Texans will win, even if only by sheer (and uncharacteristic) incompetence on the Chiefs’ end. C.J. Stroud will probably dice up Kansas City’s secondary, and the Chiefs should be expected to commit no fewer than 10 penalties.
