The Kansas City Chiefs are trying to win a playoff berth, but losing Justin Houston won’t make things any easier.
When the Kansas City Chiefs started to bounce back after a slow start to their season, fans were still skeptical that something would go wrong.
That seemingly happened on Sunday against the Bills as Pro Bowl defensive star Justin Houston went down with an injury that looks like it could be season ending. While it’s still way too early to make that determination, the way Houston went down and the nature in which he hobbled to the Chiefs locker room isn’t very encouraging.

This is not what the Chiefs wanted to see, as Houston is a major cog in their defense and is one of their most potent weapons on that side of the ball. That being said, it’s still unknown just how hurt he is so we will have to see the extent of whatever injury he suffered before truly reacting.
