The Titans can run the ball and they've gotten by with some trickery to score some quick points...but they aren't a team that can line up and score 3 TDs in a row...
The Chiefs need to score quick and play from the front. Stack the box and make Tannehil beat them.
The Titans are also in the championship game, so they should be given that credit.....but this is the year of the Chiefs. [Reply]

sounds right but, Ravens kept 8 in the box to try to stop Henry and couldn't.
Maybe Spags can dial something up to at least slow Henry down. [Reply]

Go back, if you can, and rewatch our Week 10 game against them.
Our first drive....TD.
Their first drive....two runs and a sack fumble by Jones.
Our second drive.....completely fucked by 3 offensive penalties. Two holding and one OPI. That ended in 3 points.
Their second drive....6 plays and a punt.
Our third drive....ended in a punt. I believe that’s the drive that ended on Watkins dropping the slight overthrow by Mahomes.
Their their drive....TD.
Then the Williams fumble for a TD happened and it kept them in it. [Reply]

The Ravens offense also shit the bed time and time again.
They attempted 59 passes and had 29 rushing attempts, which resulted in...12 fucking points.
Titans were held to 300 yards compared to 530 for the Ravens.
Titans only ran for 32 more yards. Ravens threw for 262 more yards. 92 plays for the Ravens vs 53 for the Titans. Ravens even had more yards per play.
The Ravens had 7 of their 11 drives end with a turnover (either a fumble, pick, or downs). Their other 4 drives ended with a punt, 2 field goals, and a TD. Think about that. [Reply]

Henry has 50 yards in the first half. The Titans got up because of their passing game and the Ravens couldn’t get out of their own way on offense. [Reply]
The Titans scoring drives were primarily due to big plays and field position.
1st TD-35 yards on 8 plays after a Lamar pick
2nd TD- 45 yards on 1 play after the Ravens turn it over on downs
3rd TD-81 yards on 6 plays (their best drive, but most came on a 66 yard run by Henry)
4th TD-20 yards on 6 plays after Jackson loses a fumble
If we take care of the ball and limit big plays, we win and likely in a blowout. [Reply]

Wins are hard to come by down the stretch. Blowouts shouldn't be counted on. The Titans will be ready. Both the Chiefs and the Ravens ran and passed all over the yard on us and still lost. Are the Chiefs favored? Sure. Better on paper? Sure. Guaranteed to win? Ask Brady and Jackson about that. [Reply]
