The three-time\u00a0Super Bowl\u00a0champion completed 23-of-34 pass attempts for 261 yards with four touchdowns. It was arguably his best performance of the season.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">While the Chiefs haven\u2019t been very consistent this season, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans refuses to overlook his Week 14 opponent. After all, he\u2019s playing a quarterback who he nicknamed \u201cHoudini\u201d on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">\u201cPatrick is still Patrick,\u201d\u00a0Ryans told reporters. \u201cShould call him \u2018Houdini.\u2019 He finds a way to make plays all over the field.

That means every game is considered \u201cmust win\u201d from this point forward.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">\u201cYou\u2019ve got to win every game now and hope that\u2019s enough,\u201d Mahomes said after the Thanksgiving loss to Dallas. \u201cWe\u2019re going to play a lot of good teams coming up. If we\u2019re going to make the playoffs, we\u2019re going to have to win them all. That\u2019s got to be the mindset when we step into the building when we get back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">As of this Thursday, the Chiefs trail the\u00a0Los Angeles Chargers,\u00a0Indianapolis Colts\u00a0and\u00a0Buffalo Bills\u00a0in the Wild Card standings.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\">A loss to the Texans on Sunday would just about end the Chiefs\u2019 hopes of making a playoff run.
