The Kansas City Chiefs spotted the Houston Texans 24 points in their Divisional Round matchup on Sunday, but they then went on a 41-0 run to take a 41-24 lead in the third quarter. Chiefs running back Damien Williams capped off the surge with a five-yard touchdown run, his third score of the game:

Williams had just scored from a yard out the possession before to make it 34-24. He also caught a 17-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes in the second quarter to finally get the Chiefs on the board after their awful start.

Williams joined teammate Travis Kelce with three scores for the game. A pair of teammates hadn't scored three touchdowns in a playoff game since 1995:

The Texans finally ended the Chiefs' huge run on a Deshaun Watson touchdown scamper late in the third quarter, making it a 41-31 game. However, Kansas City marched right back down to field to make it 48-31 early in the fourth quarter.
