The Kansas City Chiefs are moving on to the AFC Championship game for the seventh consecutive year. Steve Spagnuolo’s team didn’t consider the cold weather a factor, especially on defense.
Patrick Mahomes didn’t have to force anything against the talented Houston secondary. He often connected with Travis Kelce, who earned another career milestone. The offense’s situational play was crucial, as the stats don’t tell the whole story.
Defensively, the unit’s pressure on C.J. Stroud spoiled numerous Texans drives and accounted for eight sacks. The secondary blanketed wide receivers while players like Justin Reid, Tershawn Wharton, and Mike Danna made their presence felt all game long.
