Mahomes Throws Touchdown as Chiefs Dominate Texans in AFC Showdown

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw for 177 yards and a touchdown, most of it going to best buddy Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Houston Texans 23-14 on Saturday to advance to the AFC title game for the fourth time in five years.

Mahomes was not at his best, but he made key plays when it mattered, including a touchdown pass to Kelce, who had a big game with several crucial catches.

The Chiefs’ defense also played a critical role in the win, holding the Texans to just 14 points and limiting their high-powered offense to just a few big plays.
