The craziest Chiefs playoff victory? It has to be. Trailing 24-0 in the second quarter, the Chiefs rallied back for a 51-31 victory over the Houston Texans in an AFC Divisional Round game at Arrowhead Stadium. Patrick Mahomes was spectacular with five touchdown pass, three to Travis Kelce and the defense came up big. It’s on to the AFC Championship Game for the second straight year and a meeting with the Tennessee Titans.
