The Kansas City Chiefs won their division for the seventh straight season in the NFL and qualified for the playoffs.
The team around star quarterback Patrick Mahomes won 30:24 after overtime against Houston Texas and had 11 wins in 14 games. The 2019 Super Bowl winner wrested possession from the hosts in overtime and converted the next offense’s opportunity for the game-winning touchdown.
The Dallas Cowboys also have a playoff spot, but unexpectedly had to wait a little longer. The team lost a 21:7 lead to the Jacksonville Jaguars and had to go into overtime. There, the Jaguars intercepted a pass and turned it into a touchdown to win. It was only the Cowboys’ fourth loss of the season. Since the Washington Commanders lost 12:20 in the evening game against the New York Giants, the Texans around quarterback Dak Prescott are safe in the playoffs.
The Detroit Lions around Amon-Ra St. Brown won their seventh win of the season with a 20:17 against the New York Jets. The chances of qualifying for the playoffs are still intact. St. Brown caught seven passes for a total of 76 yards.
