The Kansas City Chiefs had a golden opportunity ahead of them Sunday. With a win over the lowly, one-win Houston Texans, the Chiefs could clinch the AFC West for the seventh straight season with a win. Kansas City eventually got there, but it was a much harder feat than anyone expected.

The Chiefs may have ended the contest in exciting fashion, but the team looked sluggish at the start of the game. The team got off to a slow offensive start, punting on their first two drives. On the Texans' third drive of the game, the team went on a six-minute, 11-play touchdown drive to take the lead. Patrick Mahomes was able to tie things up on the next drive, connecting with Jerick McKinnon on a 20-yard touchdown pass.

Once again, those hopes were dashed by a fumble. This time, JuJu Smith-Schuster was the culprit. Mahomes hit Smith-Schuster on a six-yard pass at the Texans' 42-yard line. Smith-Schuster fumbled the ball and it was recovered by the Texans. Houston then went on a 7-play scoring drive to go up 21-16. With the game on the line, Houston ate up nearly 7 minutes on a 15-play drive. The team managed to get into field-goal range at the end of the drive, and hit a game-tying field goal with five minutes to play.
