Good, Bad, Ugly VS Houston Texans In Wild Card Game
Belichick said Saturday’s 30-0 dominant win over the Texans in the wild-card round pretty much followed the script of how the Chiefs have been playing.
That game was unforgettable, in part because of how poorly the Patriots played on ESPN’s Monday Night Football, which ignited a sharp media reaction about the team’s future and if Belichick had surrounded quarterback Tom Brady with enough talent as the Patriots dropped to 2-2. Hopkins became the first NFL WR in history to have 100-yard receiving games with four different QBs this year, but Kansas City never let him loose. “You get to the playoffs, and first round, if things don’t go well, that rips your heart out”.
There are two Kansas City games on Bill Belichick’s mind right now.
Kansas City would add another touchdown and field goal in the fourth quarter to win it 30-0.
“But five plays later, disaster again struck for the Texans, as Hoyer committed his second interception of the day, this time via an interception by inside linebacker Josh Mauga, who started breaking on Hoyer”s short pass to Blue before the ball even came out of his hand.
Hoyer fumbled and threw an interception in the first quarter.
“I’m going to get it taken care of, I’ll be fine”, Watt said Sunday. “It’s tough. Own up to it and learn from it. Embarrassing. Trust me, no one will be more critical of this than I will”.
The victory breaks a streak of eight straight playoff losses by the Chiefs and is their first postseason win since beating the Oilers in Houston on January 16, 1994.
The Chiefs would continue to get the ball down the field on the drive, and Alex Smith hit Maclin’s replacement, rookie Chris Conley for the touchdown to give the Chiefs a 20-0 lead.
With that being said, this is just another example of Watt’s extreme fortitude and toughness. “That is not the way it was supposed to go”.
“Those were our goals coming into today”, Berry said.
“The best thing for us in this game was to stick with [Hoyer]”, O’Brien told reporters.
On the opening kickoff, Knile Davis got three good blocks around the 10-yard line then outran the rest of the defenders for a 106-yard return score. Quarterback Alex Smith threw for 190 yards and one touchdown in 17 of 22 passes to lead the Chiefs.
