Agreed. Henry will get his. But the Titans won't be able to keep up. Their strength is their run D. Their pass rush is more of a mush-rush than a consistent threat and their secondary is so-so.
The fact is the Ravens and Pats both played right into the Titans hands. Neither team could get vertical and neither team presented enough of a threat to force the Titans out of the run game.
The Chiefs do not play into their hands out. [Reply]

The worry here is that Henry gets his, and Tits control the clock, limiting our opportunities to score and controlling the tempo of the game. They won’t have to worry about keeping up if they control the time of possession for 70% of the game. [Reply]

Doesn't matter. Texans had a favorable TOP by almost 10 minutes today. At one point they had a ridiculous number, like 15 minutes more than us. We all know how that worked out for them. [Reply]
I agree that I think their pass defense can be had. I like the matchup against their defense. There is no doubt Henry is basically playing better than any RB in recent history though.
One other factor is this will be the Titans 4th consecutive road game in 4 weeks. With their running attack maybe that doesn't matter but hopefully we can wear their defense out. [Reply]
