Patrick Mahomes posted a career low in the Texans' loss

The Houston Texans did a phenomenal job of containing Patrick Mahomes. The typically unflappable shot caller failed to connect on any touchdown passes, and he set an unwanted record in Week 14.

According to Pro Football and Sports Network, Mahomes ended the game with 42.4% of completed passes, 160 passing yards, zero touchdowns and three interceptions. This was the first time in the superstar's eight-year professional career as a starter in which he recorded a performance with no TDs and three interceptions.

Furthermore, Mahomes has thrown 10 interceptions in 13 games. It's the fifth straight season that Mahomes has thrown double-digit interceptions. The perennial All-Pro QB is completing just over 64% of his throws, which is his lowest mark in the league since he became a starter in 2018.

The loss to the Texans (8-5) means that the Chiefs (6-7) can't win the AFC West this season. The Broncos (11-2) and Chargers (9-4) are the teams in contention. It ends a nine-year streak of division titles for Andy Reid's team.

The Chiefs' next four games are against the Los Angeles Chargers, Tennessee Titans, Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders. They'll need to win all the games and hope that other results go in their favor to enter the playoffs via the wild-card round.
