seven consecutive touchdowns and a field goal over their next eight drives, including a run of 28 points in the final 10 minutes of the second quarter. </p><p>On the opening possession, Houston mounted a six-play, 75-yard drive that culminated in Deshaun Watson's 54-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Stills on third-and-1, giving the Texans an early 7–0 lead. The Chiefs then went three-and-out on their first drive, with tight end <a href="/wiki/Travis_Kelce" title="Travis Kelce">Travis Kelce</a> dropping a potential first down pass on third down. <a href="/wiki/Dustin_Colquitt" title="Dustin Colquitt">Dustin Colquitt</a>'s ensuing punt was blocked by <a href="/wiki/Barkevious_Mingo" title="Barkevious Mingo">Barkevious Mingo</a> and recovered by <a href="/wiki/Lonnie_Johnson_Jr." title="Lonnie Johnson Jr.">Lonnie Johnson Jr.</a>, who returned it 10 yards for a touchdown that put the Texans up 14–0 less than five minutes into the game. </p><p>After both teams punted on their next drives, Chiefs returner <a href="/wiki/Tyreek_Hill" title="Tyreek Hill">Tyreek Hill</a> muffed the ball inside his own 10-yard line which was recovered by <a href="/wiki/Keion_Crossen" title="Keion Crossen">Keion Crossen</a> for Houston. Two plays later, Watson found tight end Darren Fells in the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown and a 21–0 lead late in the first quarter. </p><p>The next time Houston got the ball, they drove 48 yards in nine plays to a fourth-and-inches on the Chiefs 13-yard line. The Texans lined up to go for it. However, after having to call a timeout with the play clock running down, Texans coach Bill O'Brien changed his mind because he did not like their play call. So, rather than risk a potential turnover on downs, the Texans settled for Ka'imi Fairbairn's 31-yard field goal to go up by 24 at the 10:54 mark of the second quarter. This would be the extent of their success, as the Chiefs went from being down 0-24 as late as 10:05 remaining in the 2nd quarter, to trailing 14–24 at the 8:05 mark, then 21–24 at 6:31, and finally taking the lead 28–24 at 0:44 remaining in the first half. The scoring would go on to be 51–7 in favor of the Chiefs from that 10:54 point in the 2nd quarter. First, <a href="/wiki/Mecole_Hardman" title="Mecole Hardman">Mecole Hardman</a> returned the ensuing kickoff 58 yards to Houston's 42-yard line. <a href="/wiki/Patrick_Mahomes" title="Patrick Mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> then threw a 25-yard pass to Kelce to get in the red zone before hitting running back <a href="/wiki/Damien_Williams" title="Damien Williams">Damien Williams</a> for a 17-yard touchdown. After Houston went three-and-out on their next drive, they attempted a fake punt on fourth-and-4 with a direct snap to <a href="/wiki/Justin_Reid" title="Justin Reid">Justin Reid</a> who was tackled by <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Sorensen" title="Daniel Sorensen">Daniel Sorensen</a> two yards short, giving Kansas City the ball at the Texans 33. Johnson was then called for pass interference to put the ball at the five before Mahomes hit Kelce in the end zone to cut the deficit to 10. On the ensuing kickoff, <a href="/wiki/DeAndre_Carter" title="DeAndre Carter">DeAndre Carter</a> fumbled the ball due to a hit by Sorenson, and it went right into the arms of Kansas City's <a href="/wiki/Darwin_Thompson" title="Darwin Thompson">Darwin Thompson</a>, who returned it to the Houston 6-yard line. Mahomes then threw his third touchdown pass in less than four minutes, and his second to Kelce, to make the score 24–21. </p><p>Taking possession at their own 10 with 2:47 left in the quarter, the Chiefs went on a 90-yard drive that included another pass interference on Johnson, while Mahomes rushed twice for 35 yards and completed a pair of 20-yard passes to Hill and Kelce. Finally, with 44 seconds left in the half, Mahomes threw another five-yard touchdown to Kelce to give the Chiefs their first lead of the game, 28–24. Mahomes' four touchdown passes in the second quarter tied an NFL postseason record set by <a href="/wiki/Doug_Williams_(quarterback)" title="Doug Williams (quarterback)">Doug Williams</a> in <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXII" title="Super Bowl XXII">Super Bowl XXII</a>. Fairbairn missed a 51-yard field goal as time expired in the half as the Chiefs became the first team in NFL history to fall behind by as many as 20 points in the first half but still lead at halftime. </p><p>The Chiefs would extend their lead on the opening possession of the third quarter, going 85 yards in seven plays, the longest a 48-yard catch by <a href="/wiki/Sammy_Watkins" title="Sammy Watkins">Sammy Watkins</a>. Williams ran the ball in from the goal-line, increasing their lead to 34–24 after <a href="/wiki/Harrison_Butker" title="Harrison Butker">Harrison Butker</a> missed the extra point. After forcing another Texans punt, the Chiefs took advantage of another pass interference penalty against Houston and a 28-yard completion from Mahomes to Kelce, scoring on their sixth straight possession with another Williams touchdown run to give them a 41–24 lead with 4:39 left in the quarter. Houston finally snapped Kansas City's 41-point run when Watson completed 4 passes for 80 yards and finished the drive with a 5-yard touchdown run, making the score 41–31 with 24 seconds left in the third quarter. </p><p>Kansas City would make it seven touchdowns in a row, setting a new postseason record, on a drive that included a 23-yard pass to Kelce and a 28-yard completion to Watkins, putting the ball at the Houston 8. Mahomes then found <a href="/wiki/Blake_Bell" title="Blake Bell">Blake Bell</a> in the end zone, making the score 48–31. On Houston's next drive, they turned the ball over on downs at the Chiefs 42. A pair of runs by Williams for gains of 11 and 26 yard to set up Butker's 24-yard field goal with 8:06 left to put Kansas City up by 20. Houston then turned the ball over on downs on their final two possessions, the last coming when <a href="/wiki/Frank_Clark_(American_football)" title="Frank Clark (American football)">Frank Clark</a> sacked Watson for a 17-yard loss on fourth-and-8 from the Kansas City 8-yard line. </p><p>Mahomes finished the game 23/35 for 321 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions. He was also the leading rusher with 53 yards on seven carries. Kelce had 10 catches for 134 yards and three touchdowns, tying a Super Bowl-era postseason record. Hardman had six kickoff returns for 142 yards. Williams rushed for 47 yards, caught two passes for 21 yards, and scored three touchdowns. Watson threw for 388 yards and two touchdowns, while DeAndre Hopkins had 118 yards on nine catches.

on their first play, <a href="/wiki/Aaron_Jones_(running_back)" title="Aaron Jones (running back)">Aaron Jones</a> ran for a 23-yard gain to the Packers 48-yard line, beginning a drive that culminated with a 20-yard touchdown pass from Rodgers to <a href="/wiki/Davante_Adams" title="Davante Adams">Davante Adams</a>. Later in the quarter, Seattle receiver David Moore's 10-yard punt return gave the Seahawks a first down on their own 42. Russell Wilson's subsequent 28-yard completion to <a href="/wiki/Tyler_Lockett" title="Tyler Lockett">Tyler Lockett</a> set up a 45-yard field goal by Jason Myers that made the score 7–3. </p><p>Rodgers then completed 4/5 passes for 52 yards on a nine-play, 75-yard drive. Jones finished it off with a 1-yard touchdown run to give Green Bay a 14–3 lead in the second quarter. Then, after Myers missed a 50-yard field goal attempt, the Packers got the ball on their own 40. Receiver <a href="/wiki/Tyler_Ervin" title="Tyler Ervin">Tyler Ervin</a> opened the drive with an 18-yard run on an end around play. Nine plays later, Jones finished the drive with his second 1-yard touchdown run, increasing Green Bay's lead to 21–3 with 1:30 left in the half. </p><p>On the opening drive of the second half, Wilson ran for a 24-yard gain and completed a 24-yard pass to DK Metcalf as the Seahawks drove 69 yards in 10 plays to score on Marshawn Lynch's 1-yard touchdown run, cutting their deficit to 21–10. However, Green Bay stormed right back in just five plays, as Rodgers completed a 27-yard pass to tight end <a href="/wiki/Jimmy_Graham" title="Jimmy Graham">Jimmy Graham</a> before throwing the ball to Adams for a 40-yard score, putting them back up at 28–10. Seattle responded with Wilson completing 5/6 passes for 48 yards and rushing four times for 26 on the way to a 28–17 score on his 7-yard touchdown pass to Lockett with 39 seconds left in the quarter. </p><p>After a Green Bay punt, Wilson completed four consecutive passes for 68 yards on the way to a 1-yard touchdown run by Lynch, making the score 28–23 after a failed two-point conversion try. But the next time they got the ball, Seattle had to punt with 2:41 left on the clock. Green Bay was able to run out the time with their ensuing possession, picking up two key first downs on third down completions. When faced with third-and-8 after two plays, Rodgers completed a 32-yard pass to Adams. Then when faced with third-and-9, Rodgers' 9-yard pass to Graham picked a first down that enabled the team to run out the rest of the clock. </p><p>Rodgers completed 16/27 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 14 yards. Adams caught eight passes for 160 yards and two scores.

Green Bay was soon forced to punt, and Richie James returned it 26 yards to the San Francisco 49-yard line, setting up Robbie Gould's 54-yard field goal to give the team a 10–0 lead. </p><p>In the second quarter, a sack by <a href="/wiki/K%27Waun_Williams" title="K'Waun Williams">K'Waun Williams</a> forced a fumble. Green Bay recovered the ball, but lost 10 yards and had to punt from their own 14. <a href="/wiki/J._K._Scott" title="J. K. Scott">J. K. Scott</a>'s 23-yard kick gave the 49ers great field position on the Packers 37. San Francisco then drove 37 yards in 6 plays to take a 17–0 lead on Mostert's 9-yard touchdown run. The Packers responded with a drive to the 49ers 25-yard line, only to lose the ball when quarterback Aaron Rodgers fumbled a snap, which was recovered by San Francisco lineman <a href="/wiki/DeForest_Buckner" title="DeForest Buckner">DeForest Buckner</a>. The 49ers went on to drive 60 yards in 8 plays, including a 34-yard burst from Mostert. Gould finished the drive with a 27-yard field goal, increasing the team's lead to 20–0 after the two minute warning. Then Rodgers threw a pass that was intercepted by <a href="/wiki/Emmanuel_Moseley" title="Emmanuel Moseley">Emmanuel Moseley</a>, who returned it 9 yards to the Green Bay 30-yard line. Mostert then took the ball to the end zone with three straight carries, the last an 18-yard touchdown run that gave San Francisco a 27–0 lead with 16 seconds left in the second quarter. </p><p>Green Bay managed to cut the score to 27–7 on the opening drive of the second half, moving the ball 80 yards in 11 plays. Rogers completed 9/10 passes for 75 yards on the drive, the last a 9-yard touchdown throw to Aaron Jones. But the 49ers stormed right back, with a pair of runs by Samuel for gains of 11 and 32 yards aiding a seven-play, 79-yard drive that ended on Mostert's 22-yard touchdown run. This gave the 49ers a 34–7 lead with five minutes left in the third quarter. Green Bay responded by going 80 yards in 10 plays, including Rodgers' 4-yard pass to <a href="/wiki/Allen_Lazard" title="Allen Lazard">Allen Lazard</a> on fourth-and-2, and a 42-yard completion from Rodgers to tight end Jimmy Graham. On the next play, Jones ran for a touchdown that made the score 34–13 after a failed two-point conversion attempt. Then after a punt, Rodgers completed a 65-yard pass to Davante Adams on the 49ers 22-yard line. Three plays later, his 8-yard touchdown pass to <a href="/wiki/Jace_Sternberger" title="Jace Sternberger">Jace Sternberger</a> made the score 34–20 with just under six minutes left in the game. However, San Francisco crushed any hope of a comeback with their ensuing 10-play, 44-yard drive, starting with Garoppolo's 19-yard completion to <a href="/wiki/George_Kittle" title="George Kittle">George Kittle</a>. Gould completed the scoring with a 42-yard field goal to put the 49ers up 37–20 with 3:36 to play, before Richard Sherman intercepted a pass from Rodgers that enabled San Francisco to run out the rest of the clock and earn the franchise's seventh trip to the Super Bowl. </p><p>Mostert had 29 carries for 220 yards and four touchdowns, along with two receptions for 9 yards. Garoppolo set an NFC championship record for fewest pass attempts, completing 6/8 passes for 77 yards. Williams had seven solo tackles and a sack. Rodgers completed 31/39 passes for 326 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Adams had nine receptions for 138 yards.
