Rashee Rice Stars In Playoff Debut

Rashee Rice Stars In Playoff Debut

10 months ago

The moment was not too big for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice in Saturday's postseason debut, shining for eight receptions (12 targets), 130 yards, and one touchdown in the 26-7 wild-card triumph over the Miami Dolphins. It was an electric performance out of Rice, who gobbled up six of his eight passes for 92 yards in the first half and racked up 39 of them courtesy of a catch-and-run on third-and-long right before halftime. Rice made no mistake from 11 yards away for a score on K.C.'s opening drive. With Saturday's showing, the dynamic 23-year-old set a Chiefs rookie record for most receiving yards in a playoff game. Rice shared after the contest that he was fine after tweaking his ankle in the third quarter. With that said, the second-rounder's practice status will still be worth monitoring leading into next weekend's Divisional duel either in Orchard Park against the Buffalo Bills or at Arrowhead Stadium versus the Houston Texans.
