Though, the game could not even complete the first quarter without fans calling out the officials for a questionable call, which went in favor of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City. It came on a third-and-eight from their own 33-yard line when Mahomes threw an incomplete pass targeted toward tight end Travis Kelce,

"The Chiefs are still struggling to generate big pass plays due to Mahomes being forced to throw the ball quickly," Teicher added. "Right tackle Jawaan Taylor is the third-most penalized player in the league with 17 penalties, and those penalties have been something the Chiefs have struggled to overcome this season."

Following their bye week, the Chiefs held regular practices to prepare for their matchup against the Texans.
