Kansas City Chiefs Week 14 opponent recalls last season's divisional matchup
The Kansas City Chiefs were a victory away from completing the first three-peat in NFL history. They fell short in Super Bowl LIX but got past talented teams in the AFC, including the Houston Texans. Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. attended Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud's appearance at Fanatics Fest NYC, speaking on a panel called 'Franchise Faces' with Peyton and Eli Manning, Caleb Williams, and Bryce Young, hosted by Kay Adams. He opened up about his sophomore season and falling short in Kansas City. "So for me, when things come up, or like last season, not having exactly the season I wanted, but you know, still going to the playoffs, still, won another playoff game. There's still positives in that, and there's still a lot of learning," said Stroud, "I'm only 23 years old, I believe I'm one of the youngest quarterbacks, and that's no excuse or pat on my back." Stroud passed for 244 yards and two touchdowns against Kansas City but also threw two interceptions in the divisional-round loss. He was also sacked eight times but is determined to bounce back in 2025. "I have a lot of learning to do, and to be able to get so close to winning two divisional games or not, the first in Baltimore (Ravens) got us pretty good, but to be in the game with Kansas City (Chiefs) all game," said Stroud, "Playing in that atmosphere and learning, I know, if you know God ordains that for us to be back in that position if we do what we need to do, the experiences that I've had in the past will help that on what it takes to win in the fourth quarter because that's really what the game comes down to. So I can't say that last year was a good or bad year, in my opinion, but internally, my expectations for this year are probably higher than a lot of people's outside expectations." Stroud would continue his stay at Fanatics Fest NYC, greeting fans and participating in the many on-site activities. One of the festival's many activities includes the Nike and LEGO Group Play Arena, an active basketball-themed experience open to all attendees. Guests participated in various activities, including games on a Nike x LEGO basketball court, an Athlete Studio experience where attendees created personalized LEGO jerseys and trading cards, and an MVP Tunnel Walk.
