The Tennessee Titans entered their Week 9 game against the Kansas City Chiefs as massive underdogs but gave the AFC West leaders all they could handle. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough, as the Chiefs emerged victorious in overtime on Sunday night, 20-17.

The Chiefs came out red-hot, scoring a touchdown and field goal on their first two possessions, which made us all think it was going to be a long night.

However, the Titans would put the clamps on Patrick Mahomes and Co. after that, while also scoring 17 unanswered to take a 17-9 lead that stuck until late in the fourth quarter.

But then came Mahomes, who put the Chiefs on his back and orchestrated a 13-play, 93-yard scoring drive that included a huge 20-yard gain on third-and-17 that completely flipped the game.

Neither team was able to win it in regulation, sending the game to overtime.

The Titans held the Chiefs to a field goal on their lone drive, but Tennessee’s offense, which went silent in the second half, wasn’t able to muster anything up, sealing the victory for Kansas City.

Now, let’s dive a bit deeper into the details and see what went right and what went wrong for the Titans.
