The Kansas City Chiefs completed one of the most remarkable comebacks in NFL history by overcoming a 24-0 deficit against the Houston Texans in the divisional round.

They'll now face the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Championship Game, and star wide receiver Tyreek Hill doesn't think the Titans' defense matches up well against his team.

"I feel like nobody in the NFL can guard any of us, and that's no disrespect to nobody," Hill said Wednesday, according to NFL.com's Kevin Patra. "That's just the confidence that I got in myself and the wideouts I've got around me, including the tight ends and the running backs.

"I feel like no DB unit, no secondary unit, no linebacker, any defense can guard any of us. So man-to-man is just easy for us to beat. If you just allow us to run through zones, it's even easier."

The AFC West winners beat the Texans 51-31, becoming the first team to win a game by 20-plus points after trailing by the same margin.

Two Chiefs players scored three touchdowns - tight end Travis Kelce and running back Damien Williams - helping their club to record a touchdown on seven consecutive drives against Houston.

Hill, meanwhile, hauled in three of four targets for 41 yards on Sunday.

The 12-4 Chiefs averaged 28.2 points and 379.2 yards per game during the regular season, ranking fifth and sixth in the league, respectively.

The Titans have upset the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens on the road over the first two rounds, and they beat Kansas City 35-32 in Week 10.
