Chiefs:“The mentality is that somebody is going to have to stop [Titans RB Derrick Henry], somebody is going to have to make a tackle on him if we want to get to Miami. The most important thing is we’ve got to finish the game strong. If you watch a lot of Derrick Henry, he gets stronger as the game goes on. His first halves, they aren’t that great but second-half football he takes off.”
–Chiefs Saftey Tyron Mathieu
Titans:
“I think there is a belief in one another, first and foremost. We’ve been through a lot this season, ups and downs, and won games in a lot of different ways. With that comes a lot of belief and a lot of confidence in one another.”
–Titans QB Ryan Tannehill

[/TABLE]It was almost exactly one year ago that Arrowhead Stadium played host to the AFC Championship Game for the very first time.
The contest was the culmination of perhaps the most exciting season in Kansas City Chiefs’ history, pitting the Chiefs’ electric offense against the New England Patriots with a shot at the Super Bowl on the line. It was an opportunity to hoist the Lamar Hunt Trophy – named for the man responsible for the Chiefs’ existence as a franchise – while reaching the mountaintop of professional sports.
Sixty minutes came and went without a victor, as Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes led a relentless comeback featuring 24 fourth-quarter points, but Patriots’ tailback Rex Burkhead plunged ahead for the go-ahead score in overtime to ultimately end Kansas City’s season.
It was simply heartbreaking, there’s no way around it. Reaching the conference title game is immeasurably difficult, and for many teams, the opportunity never comes around again.
But, three-hundred and sixty-five days later, it’s clear the Chiefs are not an ordinary team.

It was a winding path that led to last Sunday’s epic, 24-point comeback against the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round, a rally of historic proportions that kept Kansas City’s season alive.
And now, after yet another masterful season engineered by Reid, the Titans stand as the final obstacle in the way of the Super Bowl.

Tennessee, the No. 6 seed in the AFC, is on a magical run of its own with road victories over Baltimore and New England – the No. 1 and 3 seeds in the AFC, respectively – already this postseason behind a historic performance by tailback Derrick Henry.
Henry – at six-foot-three and 247 pounds – is as bruising a runner as they come, wielding an incredible balance of size, speed and power. The former second-round pick got off to a slow start this season, but since Week 10, there’s been nobody better.
In fact, Henry’s 1,273 rushing yards over his last eight games would rank fifth on NFL full-season leaderboards all by itself. He’s done a great deal of that damage during Tennessee’s postseason run, too, tallying a ridiculous 377 yards in just two games.
Tennessee doesn’t mess around, their offense runs through Henry, and slowing down the University of Alabama product is integral to defeating the Titans.
“They are so big up front – I think their offensive line is really underrated. They are mean, they are nasty, they believe in themselves and they play together. Ultimately, they believe in the guy behind them,” said safety Tyrann Mathieu. “Henry obviously put together a great season and has done a lot of great things for his team, and they are really leaning on him. I think the mentality [we have] is somebody is going to have to stop him and somebody is going to have to make a tackle on him if we want to get to Miami. It’s one goal – one objective – to win the game, but in order to do that, we know we have to slow down No. 22 – no doubt.”
At quarterback for Tennessee is veteran Ryan Tannehill, who began the season on the bench before taking over for incumbent starter Marcus Mariota in Week 7. The Titans, who limped to a 2-4 start, caught fire under the leadership of Tannehill, assembling an 8-4 record with the long-time Miami Dolphins’ signal caller under center throughout the remainder of the campaign.
Tannehill led the NFL in passer rating (117.5) while tossing 22 touchdowns to just seven picks, complimenting the Titans’ ferocious running game with a capable air attack.
The 31-year-old Tannehill hasn’t thrown it much this postseason, as the Titans have handed the ball off to Henry an eye-popping 64 times, but he’s often gotten the job done when called upon. Just last week, Tannehill found wide receiver Kalif Raymond for a 45-yard scoring strike off of play action, demonstrating that while he’s thrown the ball just 29 times this postseason – with a mere 15 completions – the Titans can move the ball through the air when challenged to do so.
“[They’ve been] one of the top offenses in the National Football League since he’s been in there. Everybody talks about the run game, but this guy can sling it,” Reid said. “He has some good guys [around him], too. He’s playing good football. Smart kid. You’re really into those stories, as long as you don’t have to play them, but he’s done a nice job.”
Tennessee has excelled against some stingy defenses of late, but statistically, nobody has been better than Kansas City since Week 11. The Chiefs are allowing just 14.3 points-per-game in that span, and while Houston tallied 31 points last week, nearly half of that total was amassed on either special teams or following a short field created by a turnover in the opening minutes of the game.
The Chiefs yielded just seven points after the Texans’ hot start, preventing Houston from ever getting back into the game as Kansas City began its comeback.
It’s something the Chiefs intend on continuing on Sunday, but the Titans’ defense has certainly been effective as well. Tennessee has allowed just 25 points combined in their two victories this postseason, forcing five takeaways and five turnovers on downs. It’s a formula that has worked exceptionally well with the Titans’ rushing attack, as Tennessee has both limited the number of possessions for the opposition while taking the ball away early and often.
In fact, New England and Baltimore combined for 22 possessions in their matchups against Tennessee, losing the ball to either a takeaway or a turnover on downs 45 percent of the time. The Titans aren’t scoring points in bunches, but they’ve excelled at protecting the lead once they have it.
“I think that with the Titans, the physicality and determination they play with is big. They’re going to get after it and fight for every single yard,” Mahomes said. “Their defense is going to fly around to the ball and not give up on anything. We’re just trying to match that. We’re going to go out there and give it everything we have to come out with a victory.”
Of course, it was only last week that the Chiefs climbed out of a 24-point hole in less than a quarter. Kansas City certainly doesn’t want to find themselves behind early again in this one, but the Chiefs have demonstrated that they’re going to fight and claw back no matter the score.
Kansas City scored on an NFL record seven consecutive possessions following their early deficit, as both tight end Travis Kelce and tailback Damien Williams each tallied three scores, and it was only two months ago that the Chiefs scored 32 points against Tennessee on the road behind 446 passing yards by Mahomes. Kansas City fell victim to a last-minute rally in that game, but the Chiefs showed they could score on this Titans’ defense.
Interestingly enough, those 32 points were the second-most that Tennessee has allowed all year.
It all makes for a truly compelling matchup on Sunday as both teams take the field with the Super Bowl on the line. Tennessee is trying to become just the third No. 6 seed to ever make the Super Bowl while Kansas City is aiming to return to the biggest of stages for the first time in 50 years.
Moments like these are what sports at any level are all about, and a year removed from heartbreak, the Chiefs have an opportunity at glory at Arrowhead.
Titans vs. Chiefs: Six Things to Watch in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game

NASHVILLE – The Titans face the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.
Here’s a look at six things to watch:
Derrick Henry Train
The Titans keep handing the ball off to running back Derrick Henry, and Henry keeps delivering. The Texans knew it was coming, the Patriots knew it was coming and the Ravens knew it was coming. But that didn’t keep Henry from becoming the first player in NFL history to rush for at least 180 yards in three consecutive regular season or postseason games. Henry has accumulated 377 rushing yards on 64 attempts through two postseason games, setting a new single-game franchise record in consecutive weeks. His pace of 188.5 rushing yards per game is the best in a single postseason in NFL history for players with at least two games played. The Chiefs, who finished the regular season ranked 26th in run defense, will stack the box to slow down the big back. Will Henry and the Titans be able to keep the train moving? Well, a trip to the Super Bowl is waiting at the end of the track.
More From Passing Game?
Those new to the Titans scene probably think quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been a game manager this season, a background piece who has taken a backseat to the running game since taking over as the starter in Week 7. After all, Tannehill has thrown for less than 100 yards in both of the team’s playoff wins, and he’s completed just 15 passes in the two games combined. But Tannehill was a consistent performer for the Titans all season, throwing for over 250 yards in six of his 10 starts, and over 300 yards on three occasions. Will the Titans need more from Tannehill and the passing game on Sunday against the high-scoring Chiefs? I think the answer to that question is “yes.”
Containing Patrick Mahomes
In the first round of the playoffs, the Titans faced legendary quarterback Tom Brady of the Patriots. In round two, slowing down the league’s likely MVP, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, was the challenge. Now the Titans are faced with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, last year’s MVP and the hottest thing going at the position right now. Mahomes is an electrifying player, with 4,031 passing yards and 26 touchdowns in the regular season. He threw for 321 yards and five touchdowns last week vs the Texans, and he threw for 446 yards and three touchdowns in a Week 10 contest in Nashville. The Titans won’t be able to stop Mahomes. But they need to find a way to limit his success, both through the air and on the ground. They’ll need another solid defensive effort – and an offense that helps limit Kansas City’s possessions.
Dealing with Travis Kelce
The biggest target for Mahomes will be the biggest target in stature – Kansas City’s 6-foot-5, 260-pound tight end Travis Kelce, who has been a nightmare to cover throughout his career. Kelce led the Chiefs with a team-high 10 catches for 134 yards and three touchdowns in last week’s playoff win against the Texans. During the regular season, Kelce caught 97 passes for 1,229 yards and five scores. Kelce is a matchup problem for every team, so it will be interesting to see how the Titans defend him on Sunday — and how well their plan works.
Titans Targets?
I mentioned Tannehill and the passing game a few sections up. With the ball expected to be in the air more, which Titans targets will Tannehill look to the most? Against the Patriots, tight end Anthony Firkser came up with the money balls. Against the Ravens, tight end Jonnu Smith and receiver Kalif Raymond stepped up with some big catches from Tannehill. On Sunday, who will emerge? A.J. Brown has been relatively quiet during the postseason, and Corey Davis’ touchdown catch last weekend came on a jump pass from Henry. Receiver Adam Humphries, who had the game-winning catch in the Week 10 meeting vs the Chiefs, figures to be back in the mix after returning to practice all week. Will a new hero emerge for the Titans?
Special Teams
When the Titans beat the Chiefs in Week 10, it was defensive back Joshua Kalu’s blocked field goal that sealed the deal. When the Titans won at Arrowhead Stadium in 2016, it was kicker Ryan Succop’s last-second field goal that won it. Sunday’s game could very well come down to who wins on special teams. The Titans have the game’s best punter in Brett Kern, the Chiefs have one of the game’s most dangerous returners in Mecole Hardman. Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has made 34-of-38 field goals, while Titans kicker Greg Joseph still hasn’t tried one in four games with the team. The Chiefs had a punt blocked last week. In a game with so much importance, the hunch here is special teams plays a big role in the outcome.
