Time to activate Andre Johnson. He's only 43!

---

I have zero doubts that Andre could still dress and play maybe 8-10 plays a game.

---

I say with no irony that Andre Johnson would be the Texans second best WR if he showed up at Arrowhead on Saturday.

Cowboy fans I work with are consensus rooting for us.

Gotta beat the Refs and the Chefs. Turnovers are the absolute only way to prevail. Kelce isn't the same guy and their offense isn't great. Stop the run and pressure Mahomes but the refs will not call KC for holding so gotta get some pics. Texans can pull this off. KC only lost at Buffalo but had a lot of close wins. Denver's blowout didn't count. Keep it close and steal it at the end.

I mean, watch the week 16 game. Stroud threw two picks that led to KC points. And Fairbairn missed an XP. don't do that and we're driving for the win at the end of the game.

I don't remember any egregious calls, but I do remember some stupid ones by us.

In fact, KC got called for offensive holding twice, us zero times.

I expect Mixon to play unless his leg is about to fall off. Same as Azeez.

Have to imagine they are getting extra rest and not serious injuries.

---

The Texans are 7-3 when Mixon averages more than 4.0 yards per carry and 2-3 when he doesn't. KC is top ten in the league for rush defense, allowing 101.8 YPG

I agree, Mixon will play.

They came out rusty last year, no? If it happens again Texans just can't implode again.

Win it for Tank!

I hope the Texans win, but if you bet, y'all better load up on the +9 on the Texans, that is free money.

I'm not a gambling for real guy but if I were I would take KC -9. I think they cover that. I'm expecting something like 31-14 or 31-17.

Hate to say it but I don't think this is close. I expect the KC OL and DBs both to get away with murder with holding. They will do it all day and maybe get called once.

I get it, I just have a lot of faith in those D.

Officiating nugget: Referee Clay Martin's regular-season crew threw 59 flags for offensive holding, tied for most in the NFL. That trend should be of particular note to the Chiefs, who were flagged the second-most times (29) for offensive holding. The Texans had 22, tied for 14th most. -- Seifert

Brendan Fraser in "Encino Man"

I tend to agree with this. I think you'll see the game officiated this way but on the other side the Texans will be struggling to not get def holding/PI calls called all game.

Only takes a few to really swing a game.

Texans will need multiple big play from defense and special teams = pretty much exactly what happened last week - to win. A pick six and a blocked PAT return for 2 are the kind of "special" events you need to beat a team like KC at home. if you're them, this is almost a preseason game before the 2 game death schedule of either BAL or BUF and then likely the Lions. I think they'll play pretty consevatively unless the Texans are really giving them problems and the score will be close.

Woah

Love to see some planned QB runs tomorrow.

Frok said:

Planned runs won't work. He just needs to be ready to take off if the field is wide open and everyone is covered.

---

Why won't they work?

Pahdz said:

---

Because he's not Jayden Daniels

---

He doesn't have to be Jayden Daniels. His legs looked fresh and he was a lot faster than the linebackers in that long run he had last week. Planned draws would be fine with me, but he just needs to be ready and willing to run the whole game when a pass play breaks down.

Chiefs by 9 now according to ESPN?

the Texans need Mahomes and Butker to have bad games

Don't disagree with that at all, I've been clamoring for him to tuck and run when available, but designed draws are not what we need from Stroud.

I got it at +9.5 this morning. I think it's too much, so I'm probably wrong and the Chiefs win by 10

Is there a way to stream the radio without downloading an app like iHeartRadio? You know, without having an actual radio?

I've had good luck on the ESPN App. When you open it up, just hit the more button on the lower right hand side, and there should be a live radio option towards the bottom. The game is on ESPN/ABC so it should be on the Houston radio channel 97.5.

I don't have an ESPN account but maybe I'll just play it on my trucks radio while I am working on it. Didn't want to run down the battery leaving it on though but it will probably be ok now that I think more about it.
