However, late in the game, Patrick Mahomes was sidelined after a hard hit with backup quarterback Carson Wentz entering the game for him. For the Houston Texans, that is certainly something to keep an eye on as they've got an upcoming matchup against the Chiefs next weekend.

Patrick Mahomes might be waiting to debut against second-year gunslinger C.J. Stroud in January instead of Week 16. The three-time MVP passer sustained an ankle injury during Sunday’s win over the Cleveland Browns. During his postgame press conference, Mahomes said he was unsure if he would play next week when the Texans come to town.

Joe Thuney fared well at left tackle, but the Chiefs' second-half play calling may have put their quarterback in unnecessary jeopardy.
