Closed captioning will resume shortly the nfl. After the break weve got highlights from wild card weekend. Fs officially got underway today. The first game of the afcs side of wildcard weekend featured the kansas city cheifs visiting the houston texans. As always jj watt is the face of the texans. Today they wished he was playing on both sides of the ball. Things got out of hand for houston from the opening kickoff. Knile davis kansas city. He brings it out from six yards deep. He stumbles a bit at first, but then finds an enormous gap in the coverage. And hes gone. Davis goes 106 yards untouched for the first score of the game on the first play of the game and things wouldnt get better for houston from there. Things were especially brutal for brian hoyer. In the First Quarter hoyer throws a pick to eric berry. Again in the first hoyer fumbles it. The ball is recovered by dontari poe. In the Second Quarter hoyer is pickedoff in the redzone by josh mauga. And before the half hoyer is picked for a third time by marcus peters. Four turnovers in the first half for hoyer texans coach bill obrien is less than pleased, as were the hometown fans who booed their team headed into the half. But thet only trailed by 13 at that point. Now, in the Third Quarter alex smith on the play action he finds chris conley over the middle for the score. Chiefs go up 200. Same quarter, same score smith throws a wobbler over the middle, but travis kelce hauls it in. Theres some really poor tackling. And kelce picks up then on the first play of the Fourth Quarter spencer ware is again met by some horrendous tackling. Ware takes it in for the score. That put kc up 270. And they would go on to win this one easily, 300. Its the chiefs first playoff victory since 1994 the chiefs advance. It was acrazy one in cincinnatti, between the bengals and steelers. Pick it up in the Third Quarter roethlisberger lofts one into the endzone. Martavis bryant somehow hangs on to it. Thats a touchdown. And the steelers lead it 150. But the bengals would fight back. Down just five in the Fourth Quarter now. Mccarron finds aj green for the 25 yard score. The bengals claw their way back into the lead. Later in the fourth the bengals have the ball off an interception. But hill coughs it up. A huge break for pittsburgh. They still have a shot at this. Steelers converted on fourth down. And on the next play roethlisbergers pass is incomplete, but brown is hit hard by burfict. Foul. And to make matters worse Adam Pacman Jones is flagged for pushing a referee that sets pittsuburgh up with a great chance at a gamewinning field goal. And with 18 seconds left chris boswells attempt from 35 out, is good. Pittsburgh goes on to win a wild one in cincinnatti, 1816. Tomorrow weve got the vikings hosting the seahawks in the early game. And then the redskins will host the packers at 1 40, right here on fox five. Well be right ng us for fox five news at ten. Have a great
