Texans gave up playoff kickoff return touchdown for a 2nd consecutive season

Dion Lewis has already scored two touchdowns against the Texans.

Dion Lewis missed the first half of the season and a little more for the New England Patriots as he made his way back from ACL surgery. He has made up for lost time in the eight games since, however, and none more so than in Saturday’s playoff game against the Houston Texans.

Lewis has TWO touchdowns already — his first two touchdowns since returning from injury. The first came on a short pass that he turned 13 yards up field to give the Patriots a 7-0 lead. The second was a scintillating 98-yard kickoff return that proved he hasn’t slowed a bit.

Oh, and if that looked familiar to Texans fans, it’s because they got burnt on a kickoff return for a touchdown during last year’s playoffs when the Chiefs’ Knile Davis went 106 yards to the end zone off the opening kick.

The Texans went on to lose that game, 30-0. Down 14-3, this game is threatening to get similarly out of hand.
