Series History
• Saturday's matchup will be the eighth time the Chiefs and Texans have met - and the first time in the postseason. The Chiefs lead the regular season series 4-3, winning the past two matchups.
• Kansas City opened the 2015 season with a 27-20 victory in Houston. Additionally, the Chiefs are 3-2 in games played at NRG Stadium.
• Andy Reid is 5-0 in his career vs. the Texans and Alex Smith is 3-0 vs. the team as a starter.
• Chiefs players have set two personal records while playing the Texans. In 2004, Priest Holmes passed Christian Okoye to become Kansas City's all-time leading rusher. The following season, Larry Johnson broke Barry Word's franchise record for single-game rushing yards with 211. Both records have since been broken by RB Jamaal Charles.
