Titans QB Marcus Mariota Guides Game-Winning Drive

Probably everyone on the Tennessee sideline, too.

Yes, but only if you live at an address at which DirecTV does NOT offer service (and only out-of-market games). What a weapon for a player whom many other teams were not willing to take a chance on for his off-field concerns.

The old icing-the-kicker trick blew up in Andy Reid’s face.

The Chiefs have won three straight, including a 21-13 win over Oakland last Thursday, to move to 10-3 on the season and in first in the AFC West. They have now 20 of their last 23 games, and this performance showed that they can step up to the plate when it really matters. Jamaal was uber-productive on a per-snap basis – he just needed more touches. They still believe they can earn a first-round bye and the AFC’s No. 2 seed.

But the Chiefs couldn’t put the game away. “You want a ticket to the dance”.

“It’s our job to get the first down and win the game”, center Mitch Morse said.

The Titans improved their record to 8-6 and remain in first place in the AFC South, tied with the Texans with two games to play.

CITY, Mo. – The Tennessee Titans are not the most talented team. We have to win.

BUNDLE UP: The Chiefs-Raiders game Thursday night ended with temperatures in the low-20s, and that’s going to feel balmy.

The current forecast calls for afternoon snow on Saturday with an overnight low of -1 degrees. But coach Mike Mularkey went for a two-point conversion and the lead, and Marcus Mariota was pressured and his pass was well off. “So this will be the coldest game I’ve played, for sure”.

Hill, a speedy rookie who ran a 4.29 forty at his Pro Day, was taken by the Chiefs in the fifth round of April’s draft; his draft stock plummeted due to a 2014 arrest for domestic violence. “I talked to the guys on this team, our leaders, and I said, ‘This is my plan.’ And they were all, ‘Let’s go.’ They knew before the drive started we were going for it”. “I think over the last five weeks, statistically they are pretty close to the top of our league in yards and points”. So it’s next man up. “He’s been preparing me for this moment just in case something happens to him”. I know he’ll stay strong.

The Chiefs would later fail to pick up a 3rd and 1 that would have closed out the game.

“It’s not one person, one scheme”.

“They’ve been practicing in it, so they are alright”, Reid said.

The Chiefs say he has matured, and Hill now has scored touchdowns four different ways this season: as a runner, receiver, punt returner and kick returner.

The Chiefs came up with a huge play in the fourth quarter, one that could have been the game-winner.

This season is far from over, and frankly a tough loss like this could be what this young Chiefs team needs to provide an edge moving forward. Mariota couldn’t find a target and wound up with what was ruled an incomplete pass.
