Not a ton went well for the Kansas City Chiefs' offense in Week 14, as they dropped their second game this season in front of their home crowd at Arrowhead Stadium to the Houston Texans. The Texans' defense performed as advertised, and they made it very difficult for the Chiefs to compete.
Losing 20-10 was one of the lower scores fans have seen the Chiefs put up in a long time, but at the end of the day, too many mishaps happened that could have been capitalized on. That being said, there were three offensive standouts despite the crushing loss that drops the Chiefs to 6-7.
