The Kansas City Chiefs won their division for the seventh straight season in the NFL and qualified for the playoffs.
The team around quarterback star Patrick Mahomes won 30:24 after overtime against Houston Texas and has 11 wins in 14 games. The 2019 Super Bowl winner snatched possession from the hosts in overtime and converted the opportunity in the next attack for the decisive touchdown.
The Dallas Cowboys also have a place in the playoffs, but unexpectedly had to wait a little longer. The team gave up a 21:7 lead against the Jacksonville Jaguars and had to go into overtime. There, the Jaguars intercepted a pass and turned it into a touchdown to win. It was only the fourth loss of the season for the Cowboys. Because the Washington Commanders lost 12:20 in the evening game against the New York Giants, the Texans around quarterback Dak Prescott are safely in the playoffs.
The Detroit Lions around Amon-Ra St. Brown won their seventh win of the season with a 20:17 against the New York Jets. The chances of qualifying for the playoffs are still intact. St. Brown had seven passes caught for a total of 76 yards.
