Houston Texans lose to Kansas City Chiefs 23-14 amid controversial referee calls.

The Houston Texans lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 23-14 in the divisional round, with controversial referee decisions adding to the debate. Key penalties, including a roughing the passer call on Will Anderson Jr. and another against Henry To'oTo'o, benefited the Chiefs. Despite outperforming the Chiefs in several statistical categories, the Texans' loss was also attributed to missed field goals and a failed fourth-down conversion.
