The NFL did not lack any drama this weekend as it felt like every game had a dramatic finish, including the Chiefs-Texans, which appeared like it would be a lopsided matchup on paper.

Instead, the one-win Houston Texans took Patrick Mahomes and Co. to overtime and it looked like their chances of pulling off the upset were pretty good when Houston took the ball over from their own 13-yard line with just under six minutes to go.

Davis Mills just needed to get them into field-goal range; alas, he could not even get them through one play.

The Texans quarterback began to scramble while under pressure from the Chiefs pass rush when he fumbled the ball, which was promptly recovered by Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay Jr.

The stunning turn of events game the Chiefs the ball right back on the Houston 26, already in field goal position to win the game.

But the Chiefs would not even need a field goal as Jerick McKinnon took a handoff on the first play to the house for a walk-off 30-26 win and clinching the AFC North.

The wild ending had many buzzing on social media, with a lot of the shots directed toward Mills for costing not only the Texans the game, but also angering Buffalo Bills fans who were hoping to improve their oddsin securing the. No. 1 seed in the AFC.
