Chiefs benched Pacheco following the fumble. Ronald Jones from McKinney, TX, gets the next carry. Mahomes drops the shotgun snap on second down and is thrown hard to the ground by Maliek Collins. Christain Harris with a good third down tackle in space forces the Chiefs to punt. Tremon Smith on the return this time. Texans ball at their own 22 following a 7-yd return.
Mills hands off on first down to Royce Freeman who gets 7 yards. Freeman then goes 11 on his second carry. Give it to him a third time for 6 yards. A fourth straight handoff to Freeman goes for 2. Sets up Driskel who only gets 1 yard at midfield on third down. Punt is fair caught by Toney, holding penalty moves the Chiefs back to their own 4-yd line.
Mahomes goes deep on first down, but the Texans catch another break when Justin Watson drops the ball at midfield after he had it hit both of his hands. Mahomes converts a 3rd-and-5 rolling right, throwing across the field to Kelce. Unnecessary roughness called on Kelce for being a redass after the 14-yd completion, so a net (-1) for the Chiefs there.
Chiefs are fired up though. Mahomes goes 13 yards to Gray followed by completions of 21 and 11 to McKinnon. Ball at the Texans' 44.
Two minute warning.
Texans 14, Chiefs 7
