HOUSTON — The Kansas City Chiefs, a franchise that in the first 55 years of its existence never won so much as back-to-back division titles, clinched their seventh consecutive AFC West championship Sunday by beating the Houston Texans 30-24 in overtime .<\/p>\n

The Texans (1-12-1) made things interesting for the Chiefs (11-3). Houston led 14-13 at halftime, and Kansas City didn’t take its first lead until nine minutes in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

But on its second possession of overtime, following a fumble by Texans quarterback Davis Mills, Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon rushed 26 yards for the game-winning touchdown.<\/p>\n
