Chiefs vs. Texans: RB Kareem Hunt scores K.C.'s first touchdown on 'SNF'

The Kansas City Chiefs wasted no time finding the end zone at the beginning of the second half of their must-win matchup against the Houston Texans on 'Sunday Night Football.'

After a less-than-stellar effort from the Chiefs through the contest's first two quarters, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and company came out swinging in the game's third act as they endeavored to cut into the Texans' lead.

On Kansas City's first possession of the second half, Mahomes marched the offense down the field for an eight-play, 56-yard drive that ended in a touchdown run by running back Kareem Hunt.

Take a look at this video of Hunt's touchdown, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs' official account:

Hunt has been one of Kansas City's most consistent contributors since he signed with the Chiefs last season.

With just over one quarter to play, the reigning AFC champions will need to ride their current momentum if they want to leave Arrowhead Stadium with a win and keep Kansas City's playoff hopes alive.
