Hello NFL fans and welcome to The Athletic’s live coverage of the 2025 season! Today we’re in Kanas City for a “Sunday Night Football” matchup between two teams clinging onto playoff hopes.
The Texans have recovered from an 0-3 start to now sit at 7-5 and plant themselves firmly in the wild-card race in the AFC. The Chiefs, meanwhile, are trying to reenter that race after a loss to the Cowboys on Thanksgiving dropped them to 6-6. Now, for the second time in three weeks, Kansas City enters a pivotal home game against an AFC South opponent desperately needing a win.
