Jan 18, 2025

It was the Chiefs' first home game since Dec. 21, where they played the opponent they'll face today in the Houston Texans.
The Texans lost receivers for the season Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell due to injuries but CJ Stroud still remains one of the league's best young QBs and they have a very stingy defense.
The Chiefs seemed to have found their stride to close out the regular season. The road to the Super Bowl will go through Arrowhead. With a win, the Chiefs will have made their seventh straight AFC Championship.
