KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Down 24-0 early in the second quarter of their playoff game against the Houston Texans, the Kansas City Chiefs went on an offensive tear that rewrote NFL playoff records en route to a 51-31 victory.
The Chiefs scored touchdowns on their next seven possessions, a feat that had never been accomplished in playoff history. A field goal on the next possession gave them scores on eight straight offensive series.
The mistake-prone favorites who handed Houston a 24-point lead, silencing the sellout crowd at Arrowhead Stadium, turned the game into a laugher.
The Chiefs host the Tennessee Titans Sunday in the second consecutive AFC Championship Game at Arrowhead Stadium. Kickoff is at 2:05. The NFC Conference Championship kicks off at 5:40 between the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers.
