It didn't take long for Knile Davis to find the end zone in the playoffs again.

The former Arkansas running back returned the opening kickoff of Saturday's first AFC Wild Card game 106 yards for a touchdown, helping the Chiefs to a 30-0 win over the Texans.

"It was a huge deal, man. It set the tempo," Davis told the Associated Press. "It quieted everybody, kind of made everybody relax."

Davis is no stranger to scoring in playoff games, as he had a pair of touchdowns in Kansas City's 45-44 loss to the Colts in the wild-card round following the 2013 season, his only other playoff game.

In that game, he had 100 all-purpose yards (67 rushing, 33 receiving) with a touchdown on the ground and another through the air. Davis had only four carries for 12 yards against Houston, but had 118 all-purpose yards thanks to the long return.

He is the only player in NFL history with a rushing, receiving and kickoff return touchdown in the playoffs and his 106-yard score is the second-longest kickoff return touchdown in postseason history.

The Chiefs travel to New England on Saturday to face the No. 2 seed Patriots in the AFC Divisional Round.
