On the other side of the ball, the Titans’ offense, led by running back Derrick Henry, shredded the Chiefs’ defense. Henry rushed for 182 yards on 32 carries, including a 76-yard touchdown scamper in the second quarter. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill also played well, completing 20 of 29 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown. With the victory, the Titans (9-3) moved into a tie with the Chiefs (9-3) atop the AFC standings. The Buffalo Bills (9-3) and Cincinnati Bengals (8-4) are also within striking distance. The AFC title race is now wide open, and several teams have a legitimate shot at reaching the Super Bowl. The Titans, Chiefs, Bills, and Bengals will all be vying for the top spot in the conference over the final five weeks of the regular season. The Titans’ victory was particularly impressive given that they were without several key players, including wide receiver AJ Brown and left tackle Taylor Lewan. Their defense stepped up in a big way, and they are now playing with a lot of confidence. The Chiefs will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing loss against the Titans. They will have a chance to prove that they are still the team to beat when they host the Denver Broncos on Saturday night. The Bills and Bengals will also be in action on Saturday. The Bills will travel to face the New York Jets, while the Bengals will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both teams will be looking to keep pace with the Titans and Chiefs. The AFC title race is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent years. With several teams vying for the top spot, the final five weeks of the regular season are sure to be filled with drama and excitement.
