In the divisional round of the NFL playoffs as simulated by EA Sports Madden NFL 25, the Houston Texans went up against the Kansas City Chiefs. With only eight teams remaining in the competition, all vying to claim the Lombardi Trophy, these two teams met previously a few weeks back, with Kansas City emerging victorious. Will Houston exact revenge and make it to the AFC Championship game? Let’s see what happens!
Houston Texans vs. Kansas City Chiefs Results According to Madden 25
Based on Madden 25 predictions, the Kansas City Chiefs are set to lose to the Houston Texans in a close game, 26-23. Trailing by a significant margin for most of the game, the Texans managed an impressive comeback, scoring 20 points in the last quarter and a half to pull off an upset over the reigning Super Bowl champions. Unfortunately, Travis Kelce’s dream of proposing to Taylor Swift after winning his fourth Lombardi Trophy will have to wait another year.
| TEAM | 1st Quarter | 2nd Quarter | 3rd Quarter | 4th Quarter | FINAL |
| HOU | 0 | 3 | 3 | 20 | 26 |
| KC | 7 | 9 | 0 | 7 | 23 |
The primary reasons behind the Texans’ victory were their strong defense and the outstanding performance of kicker K Ka’imi Fairbairn. Fairbairn contributed significantly to the team’s score, making three field goals that totaled 14 points, helping them secure the win. Moreover, his 46-yard field goal in the final moments propelled the Texans forward to the second-to-last game of the playoffs.
Absolutely, it’s important to acknowledge the defense too, as they managed to restrict Kansas City to only seven points during the second half. Moreover, they made the Chiefs attempt field goals on three different occasions in the second quarter, ensuring the game remained tight.
In the fourth quarter, Houston gained their initial lead when Nico Collins snared a 56-yard touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud, and they held onto this advantage by adding another field goal (making it 23-16). Chiefs’ wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins managed to level the score with a five-yard touchdown catch. However, the 42 seconds Houston had left were enough for them to score in the dying moments of the game.
With their victory, the Houston Texans move on to the AFC Championship. They could encounter either the Buffalo Bills, whom they defeated previously this season, or the Baltimore Ravens, who handed them a defeat earlier in the year. Regardless of the opponent, prepare for intense competition as both teams strive toward a Super Bowl berth.
