Patrick Mahomes led-Chiefs produced a stellar offensive display on the NFL Divisional round game against the Texans. So much so that even the Arrowheads Stadium didn't have enough fireworks to celebrate every touchdown. After an early stutter, Chiefs bounced back with four touchdowns in the second quarter to take the lead before halftime. Their dominance continued in the second half, as they registered 41 unanswered points with Chiefs scoring touchdowns on seven straight possessions. 

Chiefs celebrated every touchdown against the Texans with a fiery firework. However, the flurry of touchdowns meant they soon ran out of fireworks on Sunday night. With the entire stadium confused over a sudden lack of firework celebrations, the officials released a message on the video board to announce that their existing stock of 'touchdown fireworks' was up midway in the fourth quarter.
