The Houston Texans are running up the score early in the first half against the Kansas City Chiefs on the second seed's home turf at Arrowhead Stadium.

Texans star quarterback Deshaun Watson hooked up with tight end Darren Fells at the goal line after Houston recovered a muffed punt by Kansas City to extend the visiting team's early lead to a three-touchdown margin (via NFL).

Watson, 24, quickly found Fells on a hook in the end zone for the four-yard touchdown reception, making it 21-0 in Missouri. The Texans gunslinger, facing friend and foe Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs, who was selected two picks earlier in the 2017 NFL Draft, already has thrown 88 yards on eight completions and two touchdowns in a single quarter on Sunday.

The Chiefs have a long way to come back from the early deficit, and miscues executed by Any Reid's team, especially on special teams, has made the penultimate divisional round of the NFL's postseason this weekend a rout in the first half.
