By the way, that Chiefs-Texans game was a game in which both franchises (at different times) had the same name.

In 1962, the Dallas Texans won the AFL Championship ........ but because of the likely possibility that they would not be able to compete with the NFL's Dallas Cowboys (unlike a city like New York, Dallas was brand new to the likes of Major Leagues Sports at that time, hence local support was very risky and unpredictable), owner Lamar Hunt moved the franchise to Kansas City the following season and renamed them "the Chiefs."

In fact, they both had the same designs of the state of Texas on their helmets in several "Turn back the Clock" games several years ago ........ here is a picture of the Chiefs/Texans playing the Cowboys in one of those throwback games.
