Houston Texans open with 3 touchdowns vs. Chiefs in 1st quarter

A 54-yard touchdown pass on third-and-1, a punt blocked for a touchdown, and a fumbled punt that led to a quick score pushed the Houston Texans into an early 21-0 lead in their Divisional Round game at Arrowhead Stadium against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The first of the two big plays was a Deshaun Watson pass to a very wide-open Kenny Stills for the aforementioned 54-yard touchdown strike on third down for the early score, which the Texans aren’t used to doing in the opening quarter.

Houston’s defense battled and forced a fourth down punt, only to see the special teams block the Chiefs punt attempt.
