The big news ahead of this matchup is superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes will be fit to play. Mahomes sustained an ankle injury during last week’s win over the Cleveland Browns.
The Chiefs are undefeated at home this season, and a win here will match their best regular-season win total. It will also strengthen Kansas City’s hold on the number one seed.
The Texans are edging closer to a second successive AFC South title. Houston outlasted the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. At 9-5, DeMeco Ryans’ team holds its playoff destiny in its hands, but a road win here will be a huge confidence boost before the playoffs.
The Texans have benched former Super Bowl champion Devin White. The linebacker is on the inactive list while the Chiefs have dropped defensive end Josh Uche.

We’ve tested many VPN services and our favorite is NordVPN. As we point out in our NordVPN review, it offers superb speeds and a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee. But you’ve got other VPN options too, so check out our full list of the best VPN services.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we’ve said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you’re in the U.K. and want to view your usual U.S. service, you’d select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Sling or Fubo and watch the NFL live.
