Titans vs. Chiefs Preview, Score and More
Filed under: Chiefs, Titans, AFC South, AFC West
One victory away from their first 10-win campaign in five years, the AFC West-leading Chiefs host the Tennessee Titans, who snapped a six-game losing streak a week ago by beating the Houston Texans.
The Chiefs got back on the winning track at St. Louis last week, buoyed by the solid return of quarterback Matt Cassel 11 days after his emergency appendectomy. But the pressure remains on the Chiefs in the division race. They’re one game ahead of San Diego and two in front of the Raiders, who play at Kansas City two weeks from now in the regular season finale. A Chiefs’ victory Sunday against the Titans would eliminate the Raiders from contention but a loss could turn their Jan. 2 meeting into a winner-take-all affair.
So far, Kansas City has been unbeatable at home, going 6-0. Atlanta and New England are the only other NFL teams not to have lost at home this season. The Titans pose a serious challenge, however. Tennessee running back Chris Johnson ranks fourth in the league in rushing with 1,267 yards and Titans quarterback Kerry Collins has beaten the Chiefs twice in four head-to-head matchups. Tennessee’s defense will be trying to contend with a Chiefs rushing attack, featuring Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones, that has been the most productive in the league.
