Jamaal Charles must have pounded a bunch of energy drinks before the Chiefs took on the Raiders on Sunday. The running back hit the ground running -- or flying -- scoring five touchdowns.

In case you're wondering, that ties Abner Haynes (1961) for the Chiefs' single-game record for touchdowns from scrimmage. He's also the first player since Clinton Portis in 2003 to score five times in a game.

What's more important, his contribution helped clinch a 56-31 victory and a playoff spot for the Chiefs. Remember, Kansas City had the worst record in the league last season. Amazing.

Let's recap all of Charles' exploits from Sunday:

1. He started with this 49-yard catch and run in the first quarter:

2. Charles reached the end zone again in the opening period when he hauled in this 39-yard pass:

3. JC skipped into the end zone from a yard out in the second quarter:

4. Then he got another score before halftime on this 16-yarder from Alex Smith

5. Then came the most electrifying play of the day, when he turned on the jets during this 71-yard touchdown:

Not a bad day's work.
