The Kansas City Chiefs snagged the top spot in the AFC after smashing the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, marking their franchise's best-ever 15th win. This triumph secures them a first-round bye and home-field advantage in the playoffs. Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes celebrated by promising his pregnant wife a first-round bye for their baby's arrival, highlighting the team's collective effort.

Meanwhile, both Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce broke records at Acrisure Stadium. Mahomes surpassed Peyton Manning's eight-season touchdown pass record, while Kelce topped Tony Gonzalez's franchise receiving touchdown mark. The Chiefs, now 15-1, face the Denver Broncos next week to wrap up their season.

On the other side, the Steelers struggled, with quarterback Russell Wilson taking five sacks and throwing an interception. They aim to halt a three-game losing streak against the Cincinnati Bengals in their season finale.

In another Christmas Day game, the Baltimore Ravens trounced the Houston Texans 31-2. Lamar Jackson, the Ravens' star QB, made history by becoming the NFL's all-time leading rushing quarterback, passing Michael Vick's record in fewer games. Jackson's impressive performance included 168 passing yards, 87 rushing yards, and three touchdowns.

The Ravens dominated from the start, with running back Derrick Henry scoring early. Despite a safety by the Texans, the Ravens maintained control, with Jackson scoring two touchdowns and finishing another drive for a touchdown pass. Baltimore, now 11-5, hosts the Cleveland Browns in their season finale, with a chance to clinch their division. The Texans fall to 9-7 and face the Tennessee Titans next.
