Patrick Mahomes' three touchdown passes keyed the Kansas City Chiefs to a convincing 29-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day. With the win, the Chiefs clinched the AFC's No. 1 seed and the coveted first-round playoff bye that comes with it.

Across the state line in Overland Park, Kingdom Bar and Grill also hosted a Christmas Day watch party. The restaurant is usually closed on Christmas but it welcomed customers just for the game. "None of us felt like hosting Christmas dinner so we decided to come to a pub and watch the Chiefs game," fan Mike Flanigan said.

In a swift response, the Katy Police Department arrested 18-year-old Aaron Noe Chavez and a juvenile following a shooting at Katy Mills Mall on December 23, 2024. No injuries were reported, and the suspects, linked to an ongoing feud, were charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
