Houston Texans:
The Texans (7-5) defeated the Indianapolis Colts 20-16 last Sunday, earning their fourth straight win. C.J. Stroud returned to action after missing three games with a concussion. The third-year quarterback completed 22-of-35, throwing for 276 yards — his second most this season — with zero touchdown passes and one interception.
WR Nico Collins finished with five catches for a team-high 98 receiving yards. He scored his first career touchdown in the fourth quarter.
The Texans are looking to become the seventh team in NFL history to reach the playoffs after starting the season 0-3. They currently sit just one game out of first place in the AFC South and the Wild Card spots.

Kansas City Chiefs:
After falling 31-28 to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, the Kansas City Chiefs are 6-6 and face the possibility of missing the playoffs for the first time in over a decade.

- The Kansas City Chiefs tie and the Denver Broncos win against the Las Vegas Raiders
- The Kansas City Chiefs lose and the Denver Broncos win or tie against the Raiders
- The Kansas City Chiefs lose and the LA Chargers win against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night.
The Chiefs have not lost seven games in a season since 2014.
