The Kansas City Chiefs got off to a slow start in their divisional-round showdown against the Houston Texans this afternoon but quickly found their rhythm at the beginning of the game’s second quarter.
After the team was only able to muster two field goals despite excellent field position, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes finally found tight end Travis Kelce for a huge gain of 49 yards that got Kansas City into the red zone.
Kelce’s impressive reception—which was the longest gain of his career in the postseason—got the Chiefs close enough to the goal line to set up veteran running back Kareem Hunt for an easy touchdown scamper.
Take a look at these videos of Kelce’s outstanding catch, and Hunt’s nifty touchdown run:
If Kelce and Hunt can continue dominating Houston’s defense in the second half, the reigning Super Bowl champions will be well on their way to a spot in the AFC Championship Game.
