Another look at Texans CB Kris Boyd shoving his special teams coach Frank Ross. pic.x.com/dvpwL05Fhj

Damn: #Texans RB Joe Mixon was visibly upset with the refereeing from tonight's game against the #Chiefs: “Everybody knows how it is playing up here. You can never leave it into the refs hands. The whole world see, man.” The Texans were robbed... pic.x.com/9O9hOGIMIL

Azeez Al-Shaair has the Texans ready for kickoff: pic.x.com/jPPllVNjkF

RT: Texans QB C.J. Stroud was asked about the officiating vs Chiefs: "One of those things, you know what's up before you walk into the arena." "I can't argue with the ref and at the same time play football. I gotta go do my job."

RT: Dalton Schultz's effort in pass protection has me wondering if he was distracted by the tours at the Star

RT: Nico Collins vs. Trent McDuffie tonight, per @NextGenStats: 15 routes, 1 catch, 3 targets, 24 yards

Shaq Mason got beat so bad he was standing exactly where the fumble fell

Stroud ran for 12 yards, 1 yard short of a first down, setting up what should have been fourth and 1 at the KC 15, but Shaq Mason called for holding. Mason is having a terrible first half in his first game back. They should have stayed with Juice Scruggs.

"As soon as a quarterback leaves the pocket he's a runner. And he gets treated as a runner in my opinion. Runners slide get hit, stuff like that doesn't happen. Hell of a game. congrats to them. We have a hell of team here & a hell of a team coming back."- #Texans Henry To'oTo'o

RT Blake Fisher has been terrible on pass protection. So has TE Dalton Schultz.

Anderson having a great game. Sacks Mahomes for 8-yard loss on third down. Texans ball at their 20. They have 2 sacks. They had one in the 27-19 loss to KC on Dec. 21 by LB Christian Harris.

Andrew Beck and J.J. Taylor are headed to Arrowhead Stadium for Saturday’s showdown.
The Houston Texans elevated the veteran fullback and running back to the active roster for a showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional Round.
Since it’s the playoffs, the allotted number of times a player can be elevated from the practice squad no longer is an issue.
Beck, who joined Houston last offseason after starting his career with the Denver Broncos, was expected to make the active 53-man roster before a calf injury limited him throughout most of the preseason. He was released and signed to the Green Bay Packers practice squad

The Houston Texans will be down a weapon on Saturday afternoon.
Tight end Teagan Quitoriano, who returned from the injured reserve this week with a calf injury, has been downgraded to out for the AFC Divisional Round game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Quitoriano wasn’t expected to have a major role, but his impact could have elevated Houston’s passing game in the red zone. The Texans are expected to have tight end Cade Stover and wide receiver John Metchie III play after dealing with various ailments

This is one of the worst calls of the game.
Patrick Mahomes and the #Chiefs are being gifted this game.
@NFL_DovKleiman: These refs are ridiculous...
How is a flag on the Texans??
Mahomes slid way too late. Awful.

After that massive collision, Justin Reid was able to walk off the field on his own.

RT: Charles Omenihu makes the play 😤 pic.x.com/eSpToNrTvq

That's the 1st sack Joe Thuney has surrendered since he switched to left tackle. Will Anderson Jr. has made the biggest impact so far for the Texans' defense.

#chiefs CB Jaylen Watson returns today. He's only practiced a handful of times. My understanding is the Chiefs are expecting 20-25 snaps from him. That could change during the game if he's playing really well, but that's what they've planned for.

Hello from Arrowhead. With 30 minutes before kickoff, Harrison Butker made a 52-yard kick with ease, so his range appears to be good for today's game.

Samaje Perine continues to be a heck a veteran, recovering the fumble after the best kick return in Nikko Remigio's career.

RT: What a catch by Xavier Worthy 🙌 📺: #HOUvsKC on ESPN/ABC 📱: Stream on @NFLPlus and ESPN+ pic.x.com/gDJs5myn27

The Chiefs doubled Nico Collins with Jaylen Watson & Jaden Hicks on that 3rd-down snap. CJ Stroud never looked his way, which is a win for the Chiefs, who tackled a scrambling Stroud for just a 2-yard gain.

RT: George Karlaftis had a career-high 3 sacks, the first player to do that since Titans Jeffrey Simmons in 2021. All part of an 8-sack night by the Chiefs defense. #nflnetwork https://t.co/uu58aMV2jA

RT: S Bryan Cook is being evaluated for a head injury. pic.x.com/U8RobUKkbR

You might not be wrong. Isiah Pacheco has the longest rush, between the two, which was a 6-yard gain.
@jason_hamm52826: @ByNateTaylor Give Kareem hunt the ball! He needs to be the lead back

The Kansas City Chiefs have been without wide receiver Mecole Hardman since Week 13, but the Super Bowl LVIII hero returned to practice this week ahead of the team’s divisional-round playoff matchup against the Houston Texans.
Will Hardman be able to return to action against the Texans on Saturday?
Hardman has been sidelined due to a knee injury that required surgery. He was a limited participant in all of Kansas City’s practices this week and is officially listed as doubtful to play against Houston
