Chiefs storm back for blowout win


As stated, it ain't happened before and I'm not blaming the Texans. Watched the game twice now. If KC hadn't screwed the Pooch in the first quarter, the score wouldn't have been 24-0 at the end of the first quarter. The Second quarter was totally different and after the half time break, KC dominated in a way that I've never seen before. Seven consecutive drives ending in touchdowns. A surreal display of superiority. Maybe KC (as a team) played the best game they'll ever play or, maybe they are the best team in the NFL, I don't know.

What I do know is, that was the best come back I've ever seen. Sorry Texan fans.

You need to get out more watch more football.
That was a good game, umm, first half.

Houston ... the Houston Oiler's lost a playoff game in Buffalo when leading by 34 points.

Perhaps Houston can borrow the San Francisco 49er's certified therapy dog.

, can you imagine overpaid millionairs needing a team therapy dog ?

Seven consecutive drives ending in touchdowns and an eighth drive that could have. KC was so far ahead they drove down and settled for a field goal. It’s never been done before.

Simply the most superior display of teamwork I have ever seen.

I agree, and props to the Chiefs for not giving up, down 24-0.

The game did not surprise me one bit, and the real Houston Texans showed up in the 2nd half.

Don't worry Don. When the real Houston football teams arrives, they will come in with flying cars.

Kidding, I was hoping it would be your / our year.

We had one already.
Houston Oilers, winner of 1960 and 1961 AFC championships. (this was before the merger of AFL/NFL and before the superbowl)
Unless something has changed I'm unaware of, the '61 Oilers are the only team in AFL or NFL history to score 45 points or more six times in a single season.


In those days, Houston's opponents had familiar names, but attached to different cities.
The New York Titans, Dallas Texans and the Boston Patriots. Ironically, NY became the Jets when they moved out of the Polo Grounds and into Shea stadium, the Oilers eventually moved to Tenn, (thanks Bud )& became the Tenn Titans, Dallas team moved to KC and became the Chiefs and later, a new Dallas team was formed & became the Cowboys, and Houston became the Texans.
Deepest cut of all was when The Baltimore Colts owner moved the entire team and all their equipment to Indianapolis in the middle of the night in Mar 29, 1984. I was a big fan of the Colts at that time.

As an aside, there was a different Dallas Texan team in the early days of the NFL also called the Dallas Texans that played/existed for only 1 season. They played only 1/2 of that season in Dallas, couldn't draw enough fans to make their payroll, eventually the team was taken over by the League itself& played the rest of the year as a roving team, playing their 'homegames' in Akron Ohio, Hershey Pa, and Detroit (while retaining their Dallas Texans name) and the League then moved the franchise to Baltimore and that was how the Baltimore Colts were born. Ironically, the name of that franchise before it was the Dallas Texans was the New York Yanks, and the new Dallas owner at first, wanted to name it the Dallas Rangers but at the last minute, opted for the Texans name.

Very interesting, and thank you.
In 1960 I might have been one year old. I was surprised when the Houston Oilers moved to Tennessee. Especially being 'oilfield' and they were called the Tennessee Oilers, .

I also heard mention that before they were named the Texans, that the moniker 'Roughnecks' were in strong consideration.

I am also disappointed in stadium names. There is no Candlestick Stadium, no Three Rivers stadium, et all. Now I can't tell where XXX is.

They are doing the same thing with street names in San Antonio. Except not for corporate dollars. They are named after some groups preferred figure. Usually proceed by the moniker "memorial".
Now when I visit I miss exits looking for what I once knew.

There was also an early Chicago team named the Rockets...changed a year or two later to the Chicago Hornets.
Florida's first professional sports team was part of that early All American Football League (AAFL ran from '46-'49) and the Fla franchise name was the Miami Seahawks.
AAFL was eventually swallowed up by/admitted to the old NFL.

What are now the Arizona Cardinals were originally the Chicago Cardinals. When the Cardinals first arrived in St Louis from Chicago in 1960, they kept the Cardinal name even tho St Louis already had the St Louis Card baseball team. I remember the football team just being called the Football Cards.

Brooklyn had both a pro baseball and pro NFL football team named the Dodgers..at the same time. Brooklyn Dodger football team name had previously been the Triangles.. It would sound & seem strange to most of us today, but at one time, the Brooklyn Dodger football team played the New York Yankee football team.

Speaking of Houston...

Houston Astros GM and manager suspended over theft of pitching signs
Jeff Luhnow and A.J. Hinch will be suspended without pay for the 2020 season.
 
quote
Houston Astros General Manager Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch have been suspended for a year after an investigation of the Texas team by Major League Baseball into allegations that the team illegally used electronic equipment to steal opponents' pitching signs.

Luhnow and Hinch will be suspended without pay for the 2020 season and the Astros will have to forfeit its first- and second-round picks in the 2020 and 2021 MLB Drafts, according to the MLB. The team was also fined $5 million, which is the highest fine allowed.

Four people associated with the Astros during the 2017 season said the team used a camera in the outfield to steal the signs that catchers flash to pitchers during home games, the subscription sports site The Athletic reported in November. That was the year the Astros won their only World Series title.
