Kareem Hunt blasts through the line for Cleveland Browns TD - ESPN

HOUSTON — The Cleveland Browns took an early 7-3 lead on the Houston Texans off running back Kareem Hunt's fourth career playoff touchdown.

But quarterback Joe Flacco and tight end David Njoku set up the first touchdown of the NFL playoffs. Flacco found Njoku wide open dashing down the right hash marks for a 45-yard gain. He hit Njoku again on the next play for an 8-yard completion. Hunt took over from there, with a pair of hard-nosed runs, including the 1-yard touchdown plunge.

On the drive, Flacco went 4-for-4 for 69 yards off play-action.
