KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chad Henne‘s first career NFL playoff touchdown pass helped extend the Kansas City Chiefs’ first-half lead over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Saturday’s AFC Divisional Playoff.
Henne, subbing for an injured Patrick Mahomes, led Kansas City on a 98-yard drive culminating in the second touchdown catch of the day for tight end Travis Kelce. The reception was Kelce’s 10th of the first half, and the ensuing point-after staked the Chiefs to a 17-7 lead.
