Andy Reid referred to as that win his crew’s “most complete win” of the season. They’ll need to repeat it this weekend. The Texans have been at 100% of their upset over the hapless Chargers within the Wild Card spherical. C.J. Stroud was capable of steadiness issues with each RB Joe Mixon and WR Nico Collins. The Texans want an early lead and a mistake-free effort to beat the Chiefs’ magic on the sector, and the ability of Taylor Swift and the NFL off it. Each groups underperformed on the road.
