If you bet on Monday Night Football, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston is either your best friend or worst enemy.

Kansas City took a 23-20 lead over Washington with four seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to clinch a victory that kept it as the NFL's lone undefeated team.

After the ensuing kickoff, the Redskins ran one play and tried to lateral the ball in hopes of scoring a dramatic last-second touchdown. However, they fumbled and Houston took full advantage, returning the ball 13 yards for a touchdown to secure a 29-20 win.

In doing so, the Chiefs covered the spread as a 6.5-point favorite and surpassed the over/under total, which was set at 47.5 or 48.5 points in most places.

It ain't over til it's over.
