They didn't get here by being a patsy. And they did take down the Ravens convincingly last week. Henry is a freak of nature at RB, and Tannehill has improved tremendously this season. They beat the Chiefs earlier, but only barely at the buzzer. Mahomes was just coming back from his injury then, and still a little rusty. KC's run defense was horrible then, but has improved with the return of Jones and Clark, the addition of Suggs, and some new thinking by Reid and Spagnuolo. I think they can contain Henry enough now that their awesome offense can score enough to set the Titans back on their heels. And they're playing in friendly Arrowhead Stadium; few teams have the home-field advantage the Chiefs do, IMHO. And my sense is that the Chiefs are a little bit hungrier for the win than the Titans; not sure if that will translate to much advantage, but it might make a little difference.

This is why they play the games and not just talk about them. Good Luck to both teams (but just a LI-i-i-ittle bit more to the CHEEEEFS!!)!
