HOUSTON (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have advanced to the AFC divisional playoffs for the first time in 21 years.

The Chiefs did it with great defense and special teams in a 30-0 rout of the Texans in Houston. Knile Davis put Kansas City ahead just 11 seconds into the game by returning the opening kickoff 106 yards. It was the second-longest kickoff return TD in postseason history.

The Chiefs made life miserable for Brian Hoyer, who fumbled once and threw three of his career-high four interceptions before halftime.

But the Chiefs led just 13-0 until Alex Smith hit Chris Conley for a nine-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. Smith was 17 of 22 for 190 yards and one interception.

Spencer Ware had 67 yards on 16 carries, including a five-yard score in the fourth quarter.

The Texans managed just 226 total yards in the first home playoff loss in team history.

The second AFC wild-card game of the day is in the second half, and the road team is winning once again. The Pittsburgh Steelers had a 15-0 lead over the Bengals heading into the fourth quarter at Cincinnati.

The Steelers settled for three Chris Boswell field goals before Ben Roethlisberger’s (RAHTH’-lis-bur-gurz) 10-yard TD pass to Martavis Bryant. Roethlisberger completed 13 of 24 passes for 189 yards and no interceptions through three quarters.
