NFL play-offs results: Kansas City Chiefs beat Houston Texans to move one step closer to ‘three-peat’
The Kansas City Chiefs are one step closer to an unprecedented “three-peat” after defeating the Houston Texans in the NFL playoffs.
After a first-round bye, the Chiefs open the divisional round on Saturday at home against the Houston Texans.
The two-time defending NFL champions sealed the victory 23-14, keeping alive their hopes of becoming the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
Led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City has reached the NFL championship game four times in the past five years and won three times.
Last season, they became the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowls since Tom Brady led the New England Patriots in 2004 and 2005, and they were just one win away from the big game. .
Travis Kelce was also a key figure in the Kansas City dynasty, and the tight end sealed the victory with a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. Kareem Hunt scored another touchdown to help the team lead 13-6 at halftime.
Houston kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn missed two chances to tie the game, deflecting a field goal and extra-point attempt but had the final field goal attempt blocked.
But the Chiefs ended up winning comfortably, which means they will play their seventh consecutive AFC Championship game next week against either the Baltimore Ravens or the Buffalo Bills, who meet on Sunday.
