"He's one of the best running backs - to me - of all time. "I think he presents a challenge for everybody," said Mahomes of Henry.
While Tennessee's 34-31 win over the Buffalo Bills on Monday night will undoubtedly help fuel the 4-2 Titans on Sunday, it also helped the Chiefs in two ways: by giving the Bills a much-desired defeat - and giving Tennessee a short week to prepare for the game.īut at One Arrowhead Drive, no one thinks that will make any difference to the Titans' top offensive weapon: running back Derrick Henry, who now leads the NFL in rushes, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. We're going in there knowing that it's a tight race - the whole AFC, not just the AFC West - and the Titans are coming off a big win." It was kind of a close division race - we wanted to win the AFC West, first off - and it's a similar situation now. "We kind of had our backs against the wall - had to kind of start winning games at that point. "It was kind of like this year," Mahomes recalled on Wednesday.
Also played in Nashville, that game ended as a bitter 35-32 Chiefs defeat during the 2019 season. It reminds Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes of the last time his team played against the Titans in the regular season.
That adds up to Kansas City being able to afford very few losses - that is, if the team wants to enter the postseason in a favorable position.
The Chiefs' 3-3 record puts them one game behind both the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders in the AFC West race - and their losses to the Chargers, Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills are likely to become critical tiebreakers for postseason seeding. Coming into the season, a large group of people probably would not have predicted that the Kansas City Chiefs' game against the Tennessee Titans this Sunday in Nashville would be a critical game for Kansas City - but that's the way it has played out.
