Woohoo!

Chiefs go 3-and-out and then Mingo blocks the punt! Lonnie Johnson picks it up and runs it in for the 10 yard TD.

It would be hard to have a better start....

Punt is muffed! Texans get it at the Chiefs 6 yard line!

Goodness. Still a lot of game left - gotta keep the heat on....

Reid blows up Hill on a deep ball and the pass goes inc. Hill shaken up...

Chiefs fixin' to punt again.

Trying not to jinx this.

[chuck]

Who the hell knows where this game's going but it sure is nice not to be in a 30 point hole in the first quarter.

Turns out sort of being on the opposite end of that is somewhat more enjoyable. Good to know.

It seems like we’re playing well.

What a perfect legal hit. I haven't cheered a big hit without slight guilt about the guys brain in years. That was perfect shoulder to ribs.

Reid just lit that little mofo right up.

Watson gets the 1st down on a rollout but holding brings it back, -10 yards. 3rd and 11 coming up.

Dump off to D Johnson goes to the Chiefs 12, 1 yard short of the 1st down. Texans going for it on 4th and 1.

31-yarder by Fairbairn is good.
