Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver, Rashee Rice, made an indelible mark in his first playoff game on Saturday night, reminiscent of a standout performance by former BYU wide receiver Austin Collie nearly 15 years ago.

Rice, hailing from SMU, played a remarkable role in the Chiefs' 26-7 wild-card victory over the Miami Dolphins. He led the team with eight receptions, accumulating an impressive 130 receiving yards and securing a touchdown.

The young receiver displayed his prowess early in the game, amassing 92 receiving yards in the first half alone. His exceptional performance included an 11-yard touchdown catch, taking place just under four minutes into the game and setting the tone for the Chiefs' dominance.

According to ESPN, Rice's 92 yards in the opening half marked the most receiving yards by a rookie in the first half of a playoff game since 2009. It was a feat reminiscent of Collie's performance, when he amassed 105 first-half yards for the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship Game against the New York Jets.

Collie, a key player for the Colts that season, showcased his skills with five receptions for 105 yards in the first two quarters of the game. His standout performance propelled the Colts to a 31-17 victory, advancing them to the Super Bowl, ultimately losing to the New Orleans Saints.

Collie's impactful plays came in clusters during the game. He made crucial catches, including a 22-yard reception on a third-and-2 play and a 3-yard grab on second-and-goal from the 4, leading to a field goal on the Colts' first drive of the second quarter.

Later in the first half, Collie displayed his abilities once again by catching passes on three consecutive plays. In a drive commencing with 2:11 left until halftime, Collie hauled in an 18-yard pass, effectively sending the game into the two-minute warning. He followed that up with a sensational 46-yard reception, advancing the ball deep into Jets territory at the 16-yard line. Collie concluded the drive with a 16-yard touchdown catch, adding to his impressive postseason record.

Collie's final two catches of the game, a 7-yard and an 11-yard reception, coincided with touchdown drives for the Colts, solidifying his significance in their victory.

Rashee Rice's remarkable playoff debut, echoing Austin Collie's impressive performance, is a testament to the talent and potential he brings to the Kansas City Chiefs. With his standout display, Rice has proven to be a force to be reckoned with as the Chiefs continue their playoff journey.
