Chiefs, Alex Smith beat Texans in NFL wild-card game
I think those guys that were playing out there deserve from me to finish that game. A full quarter remained but the Chiefs owned 27-0 lead that ensured Reid and the Chiefs were advancing in the playoffs.
“The game just ended”, O’Brien said. “The offensive and defensive lines stepped up”.

That could augur well for his chances of playing next week in the second-round matchup with reigning Super Bowl champions New England. However, the following week they lost against Buffalo, and since then they have lost a further seven postseason games to extend their winless Playoffs streak to 22 years.
But, Texans’ quarterback Brian Hoyer turned into a turnover machine in his first career playoff start. But, in the third quarter, the wideout left with what looked like a bad knee injury.
Houston’s challenge unravelled after a nightmare display from quarterback Brian Hoyer, who was intercepted four times while making only 15 of 34 attempts for 136 yards.
Hoyer was booed by the home crowd throughout.
Hoyer returned from injury for the season finale in a win over Jacksonville. Everything seems to be humming along, and when it takes the offense a while to get going, the defense takes over. But credit the Chiefs’ defense, they played great. “I would definitely have given up those three, you know, my individual performance just to win this game, for sure”.
The name Captain Obvious is taken, so don’t go there.
“But I felt like at that time, during the whole game, I was going to stick with Brian”.
“I just felt like sticking with him was the right thing to do”, he said. Meanwhile, Mercilus again took advantage of all the attention J.J. Watt was getting and notched another three sacks, along with eight tackles and three run stuffs.
Mallett sulked, missed a team flight to Miami a week later and the Texans cut him. “I’m 65 and I had never seen the Chiefs win a playoff game”. But you could absolutely positively make the argument that the first game of the 2015 National Football League playoffs was one of the worst ever for reasons that extend beyond the field.
Hoyer bristled when asked if he thought he should have been replaced.
The Kansas City Chiefs dominated the Houston Texans 30-0 to kick off wild-card weekend.
Maclin departed with three receptions for 29 yards.
The Texans never recovered and never made a game of it. The next time they advanced the ball into the red zone, the game was far out of reach.
With that said, O’Brien and General Manager Rick Smith must ask themselves if Hoyer is the answer long term. Otis Taylor, Buck Buchanan, I remember all those players.
What can you say about a defense that throws a playoff shutout on the road?
“It definitely took points off the board, and that’s on me”.
So Houston is out, and Kansas City marches on. His loss would be huge. Chiefs RG Laurent Duvernay-Tardif departed with a concussion in the first half….
“That’s not how we expected to play”, Watt said.
