During the AFC’s Wild Card Weekend, all the home teams advanced to the Divisional round. This means that the (15-2) Kansas City Chiefs, after a week off, are getting ready to host the (10-7) Houston Texans at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday at 3:30 p.m. (Arrowhead Time) on ESPN and ABC affiliates nationwide, including KMBC/9.
This will mark the third playoff meeting between these two teams. In the 2015 postseason, Kansas City came out on top with a 30-0 victory over Houston, marking their first playoff win since 1993. In 2019, the Chiefs overcame a 24-0 deficit in the second quarter to secure a 51-31 win, leading to their first Super Bowl victory in 50 years. Now, Kansas City is aiming to kick off a three-game streak that will result in an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl championship.
The last time these teams faced off was just four weeks ago, when the Chiefs claimed a 27-19 home victory, bringing their record to 14-1.
