NFL<\/a>\u00a0fans had all sorts of wild reactions to the ending of the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs-Houston Texans Divisional Round game that wound up being a huge victory for Vegas.<\/p>\n

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs defeated\u00a0C.J. Stroud\u2019s Texans 23-14\u00a0to clinch their seventh straight trip\u00a0to the AFC Championship Game. They\u2019re now just one victory away from matching the record of eight, set by the New England Patriots from 2011 to 2018.<\/p>\n

Though it wound up being a two-score win, fans are losing their minds and calling the Chiefs-Texans game \u201crigged\u201d because of the ending. Some sportsbooks had Kansas City as a 9.5-point favorite, but they purposely surrendered a safety in the waning seconds that dropped their lead from 11 to nine:<\/p>\n
