Official Texans vs. Chiefs Game Thread, 12/18/2022

[Keith]

Mills at QB to start the second drive. Three and out. Weird third down play that the Chiefs sniffed out easily, taking down Rex Burkead in a poorly executed screen. Good punt, but Chiefs will begin their second drive from their own 40.

Big sack of Mahomes on first down as RB Isiah Pacheco whiffs on a block on blitzing LB Christian Kirksey. 11-yard loss. Drive is just a three-and-out as the Texans flush Mahomes from the pocket on third down. Front seven doing work as if it were the Chiefs moving their right tackle to left guard. King returns the 57-yd punt 13 yards to the 20.

Driskel starts the third drive with a keeper for 9 yards. Dare Ogunbowale dives for 2 and a first down. Mills subs in and finds Chris Moore for 35 yards down the right sideline to the Chiefs' 36. He finds Burkhead on third down for 17 yards and into the redzone. Mills' third down pass for Jordan Akins near the goalline is incomplete, but a flag for DPI on Darius Harris gives the offense a first on the 4-yd line. Driskel can't find a receiver and runs OB for a 4-yd loss.

TOUCHDOWN. Mills finds Teagan Quitoriano on 2nd and goal for the 8-yd score.
