The Tennessee Titans went into New England and ousted the favored Patriots in an AFC Wild-Card game. They went into Baltimore as the sixth seed and stunned the top-seeded Ravens. Now, they will face either the Houston Texans or Kansas City Chiefs in a third straight road test for the AFC Championship.
Is Vegas sold on Mike Vrabel and his Titans? Shocked sounds more like it.

The Titans hold a win over both the Chiefs and Texans. They split the season series with Houston, losing 24-21 to their AFC South counterparts in Week 15 before clinching a playoff spot with a 35-14 romp in Week 17. In the second matchup, the Texans rested a lot of their regulars. Derrick Henry rushed for 86 yards in the loss to Houston but had 211 yards on the ground and three TDs in the last week of the regular season.
