2020 AFC Divisional Round: Chiefs Overcome Enormous 24-Point Deficit

The Chiefs have come back from just two deficits of 20 or more points in the playoffs. The largest Chiefs playoff comeback took place on January 12, 2020, when the Chiefs came back down 24 in the 2020 AFC Divisional Round vs Houston. The Texans sprinted out to a 24-0 lead early in the second quarter. The Chiefs responded in a convincing fashion outscoring the Texans 51-6 from that point on. The comeback was led by an incredible performance from Patrick Mahomes, who threw 5 touchdowns (including 3 to Travis Kelce), and running back Damien Williams (2 rushing touchdowns and 1 receiving touchdown). By the time Harrison Butker converted the Chiefs’ final score with a 24-yard field goal with 8:06 remaining in the fourth quarter, the game was already out of reach for the deflated Texans. The Chiefs ultimately won the game 51-31, capping off one of the largest comebacks in NFL playoff history. It also led to their fourth SB appearance in Chiefs Super Bowl history.
