Chiefs Start Thuney at Left Tackle Against Texans

The Kansas City Chiefs have named Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes as team captains for their upcoming playoff game against the Houston Texans, aiming for a historic third consecutive Super Bowl victory. Head coach Andy Reid is relying on their extensive postseason experience as the Chiefs prepare for the Divisional Round matchup. In a strategic decision, the team plans to start Joe Thuney at left tackle, despite D.J. Humphries being healthy, due to Thuney's strong performance in relief during Humphries' injury. This move reflects the Chiefs' effort to stabilize their offensive line, which has faced challenges throughout the season. Mahomes has expressed confidence in both Thuney and Humphries, indicating he feels secure with either player protecting him. The Chiefs are looking to overcome past struggles in the playoffs and continue their pursuit of a third Super Bowl title.
