In this story:

After some time off to rest and prepare, the Kansas City Chiefs are almost back in action. The back-to-back Super Bowl champions benefitted from a bye during wild-card weekend and with the dust now settled, there's a rematch of Week 16 on the horizon for Andy Reid's club.

Coming to town are the Houston Texans, who fell to Kansas City by a final score of 27-19 less than a month ago. With that said, DeMeco Ryans and Matt Burke's defense came alive in the first round of the postseason and held the Los Angeles Chargers to just 12 points. The AFC South champions are looking to pull off a sizable upset against the Chiefs with momentum on their side, although the resume of Patrick Mahomes in the divisional round is second to none.
