(Wild Card Weekend) #5 Tennessee Titans vs. #4 Kansas City Chiefs

#4
#5







Recap: Titans 22 Chiefs 21
"OH MY GOD, YOU FRIGGIN' BLEW IT!" Not the first time we've said that when Andy Reid is involved, but this time he really did it. It's almost a gift, to blow games like he can. On this episode of the Andy Reid choke show, the Chiefs started out on fire in the first half, making the Titans look like the jobbers they are. By halftime, they were up by three scores, and the game was actually running the risk of being a blowout. Now, I was happy to see the Chiefs break the home playoff game curse, mind you, but I still wanted things to be interesting. Well, this turned into a classic alright...at the expense of everyone in the state of Kansas. Only the Chiefs would allow Marcus Mariota to score a TD pass to himself and have one of their best recievers in Travis Kelce go down with a concussion in a freak accident. Without Kelce, the Chief offense looked borderline anemic. The Titans defense unplugged Kareem Hunt's run game, Alex Smith's receivers forgot how to catch a ball, and the defense had no answers for Delanie Walker. In the end, the Titans managed to take a one point lead late in the 4th quarter that their defense managed to...well, defend. Before I congratulate the Titans for advancing to Foxboro, I'm gonna congratulate the Patriots, who will most certainly be in the AFC Championship game now. Chiefs, enjoy the offseason, especially when you burn Andy Reid at the stake for blasphemy. Five home playoff losses in a row? Not even the Browns can lay claim to that. May you have another 5 game winning streak to start the season next year, only for the wheels to come off in January.
