Stroud got lit up, nice.

Didn't cost them anything

And thar id 'tis.

An INT would have been nice to pad some stats. Very winable game. Perhaps a bit more blitzing by Spags in the 2nd half.

We’re always around, friendo

Wow, Texans hold more than 90s Patriots

Whew.

Nice hit on Stroud, give him something nice to think about at halftime.

He got nicked up.

213 yds for Houston. Not ideal.

Good half get a TD coming out in the 2nd and hopefully it won't be stressful

Stroud got crushed.

24-10 coming up out of the half.

Only real sore spot in the first half has been on third-down. Lock that down with just a little more pressure and we're fine.

Am I juvenile for laughing when I hear "long snapper"?

Coward and traitor material here

No way Worthy can realistically catch that pass.

Like most Mahomes deep passes this season.

We gave up way way way too many big plays on 3rd down. Like insane.

The Jinx didn't work

Will take that first half and be happy.

What a difference on offense... great rollout plays without any pressure, Mahomes just missing a few times. And a couple times where he just needs to throw the damn ball and not take the sack or hit, but overall the progress we want to see.

A couple phantom calls on the Texans, hate to see it.

Glad the D-line finally stepped up and got pressure. Makes all the difference in the world.

Good half overall. Houston is a playoff team for a reason. They have offensive weapons. I'm hoping all these injuries for them take a toll as the game continues.

Speaking of, let's hope Worthy isn't a serious injury.

Some of you have way too much rage.

Focus on the points allowed.

All that other shit is just statistician wank material.

Nope.

I think of that wrestler Chyna...

Worthy questionable with an Ankle.

Both sides got a couple of phantom calls and they missed 2 DPI's on our last possession. Still I'll take a 7 pt lead with the ball coming out after half.

Yeah but I'll take 10 points. Need to get them off the field on third-down and we're good.

Exactly.

Got em right where we want em.

He caught it perfectly, but couldn’t drag the left foot. There was good coverage on the play and that was a very difficult throw. Pat threw a dime.

The roll outs were fantastic. Why haven't we been doing that most of the season since the pass blocking has been so awful?

**** us. Can't go a game without the injury bug...

Would have been a penalty if it was Mahomes

To threepeat, they’ll need to be able to contain teams with better QBs and OLs.

Moar juju! Moar Hollywood! Moar 87!

Because someone has to win the shitty AFC South.

With a short week coming up. Not ideal but we were never getting out of these games without injuries.

I was happy to finally see them getting some real pressure on Stroud toward the end of the half. Hopefully that will continue.

You really need to have some context with this defense. Spags always adjusts.

I'd prefer Gray. Get the young guy going and let Kelce loaf another week.

It's Gray pride time baby...

They have to get Mahomes another second or two in the pocket. Defense is playing solid in spite of the constant holding from the Texans.

To threepeat, they need to score 1 more point than their opponents they face in the post season, not hold them to a certain yardage total.

As it should have been

These almost-sacks are quite the cock tease. We need to finish.

Complete and utter horseshit but cope and seethe bundle of sticks.

Just to show we care about CJ

No shit. They were great. Mahomss was all alone out there to make decisions.

That's true but they're still good enough to be there consecutive years. They have a young stud QB and weapons offensively. The injury to Diggs screwed up their year.

NJURY REPORT: Xavier Worthy (ankle) is ‘questionable’ to return

Lot of things we could have done better.

But I’ll take the 17-10 lead at half with getting the ball first in the 2nd.

And the closer the game is the more painful it is for the vanquished.

I'd prefer it that way...

Looked like he’ll be fine. Just glad it wasn’t a hamstring.

Much better play at the end of the half. Amazing what happens when the Ref actually calls the other team for holding

Yards are for losers.

Haven’t watched many KC games this season? Throat punches are legal against Mahomes.

As long as it's not the high ankle. We just got ****ing Hollywood back...

That’s not good.

Hopefully nothing serious and we can expect him back soon.

Low quality bait from the Broncos fans today

Why? I expect a win. But I’d like to see the defense return to its formerly dominant self.

Hollywood better be shape his usage about to go up with worthy out .

This is like the one game he can actually make claims like this lol

Texans have been called for two or three penalties I just did not see a thing. On the flip side, I only think the Trey Smith “hold” on the screen earlier was egregious.

Time to put those sluggish 3rd quarters behind us. Come out string and get a 2 touchdown lead!

Defense will be fine. Just keep getting them in third and long.

It’s not sustainable.

Any word on worthy?

Jac Collinsworth sounds JUST like his old man...sadly...

Clay makes that call

Thanks.

In the tradition of great Chiefs Defenses of the past......

....let's continue the trend of picking off opponents passes.

This game won't be close if Carl Cheffers doesn't let the Texans get away with OPI and Holding all ****ing day.

Only reason the Texans have 7.

LMAO

Yea the non-calls on the only Texans TD weren't egregious either. Totally favoring the Chiefs here.

This is how I know you're nothing but a ****ing contrarian. Zero chance you say this if it's the other way around.

You're the ****ing worst.

did brick johnson head this Maddencast shit?

They're playing elite offensive talent. 10 points is more than acceptable.

Annoying?

Or is he talking about banging high school girls?

so does noah eagle

It looked like they just started winning their physical battles. Danna and Jones and Karlaftis got pressure through.

The defense had some struggles until the Cleveland game in 2nd halves, regardless of what Spags was doing during that stretch. The turnovers are huge because they swing games. We've forced 8 in the last two games. That wasn't happening before.

Spags is great but if guys are going to lose their individual battles, even he can't slow opponents down. The pass rush needs to win because we don't have great CB play now outside of McDuffie. Plus, Connor is injured and even though he had struggles, that's a further trip down the depth chart for a replacement.

Need a score here , long drive and run it down their throats , time to crush their hole early.

McDuffie was so ridiculously overdue for INT’s.

Coming in waves now.

I don’t get into no-calls much. You can make like two or three calls on every single play.

We start crying about no-calls, we will literally be crying all game. And that’s loser shit.

Hollywood Brown leading the Chiefs in receiving yards.

oh and mcduffie about to go onna streak of interceptions book it

wouldnt be shocked if he goes on one thru to the super bowl

jameis unlocked the beast

Oh so you're just a butt****ing moron?

Not all no-calls are created equally. Those were two no-calls on the same play that resulted in 6.
