Early in the second quarter of a divisional playoff game at Arrowhead, Kansas City trailed Houston 24-0. Fans who were there remember the quiet. Then Mahomes threw five touchdown passes and the Chiefs won 51-31. The team called it the largest comeback in franchise history.
That win sent the Chiefs to the AFC Championship Game, where they beat Tennessee 35-24. Then they won Super Bowl LIV. For many fans, the Houston game is where that run truly started.
The throwback twist
Here is a detail that makes this comeback fun to wear. Before Kansas City, the franchise played in Dallas as the Texans. So the Chiefs climbed out of a 24-0 hole against a team carrying the name the franchise once used. A 1963-style jersey points straight at those roots.
Our pick is the red 1963-style Mahomes #15. The listing image shows a white 15 outlined in gold, a captain C, and a mascot patch on a state-outline emblem on the sleeve. It is about $80 USD. The Texas shape is the clearest visual link to the franchise history.
Other ways to mark the game
If you want the plain home jersey, the red Mahomes #15 Team Game is about $60 USD. Kelce had a big part in the climb back too, and the red 1963-style #87 pairs with the Mahomes throwback if two people in the house want matching jerseys.

| Jersey | Visible detail | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Mahomes 1963-style red | state-outline sleeve emblem | The Texans-roots joke |
| Mahomes Team Game red | No extra patches | Plain home look |
| Kelce 1963-style red | Same sleeve emblem | A matching pair |
Whichever you choose, the story works best told in order: 24-0, five touchdown passes, 51 points, then a Super Bowl. It is a lot to fit on a jersey, but the #15 on the front says it well enough.
