🔑 KEY STORYLINES
Kansas City Chiefs (6–8)
The Chiefs’ season took a devastating turn following Patrick Mahomes’ torn ACL. Gardner Minshew is expected to start at quarterback, with the offense relying heavily on the rushing duo of Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco, along with veteran tight end Travis Kelce.
Injuries continue to pile up, with Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton both dealing with concussion protocol concerns. While the defense remains functional, questions linger about overall motivation down the stretch.
Tennessee Titans (2–12)
Rookie quarterback Cam Ward continues his development, supported by a backfield featuring Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, which has flashed potential at times. Defensively, however, Tennessee ranks near the bottom of the league.
Jeffery Simmons anchors the pass rush with close to double-digit sacks, but injuries in the secondary — including Kevin Winston landing on injured reserve — have taken a toll. The Titans remain winless at home this season (0–7).
Head-to-Head
Tennessee holds a slight edge in recent history, winning four of the last six meetings over the past decade. Still, even without Mahomes, Kansas City enters with the more talented roster on paper.
⚠️ WHAT’S AT STAKE
This matchup is about pride and momentum. The Chiefs are trying to avoid their worst season under head coach Andy Reid, while the Titans are chasing their first home victory and valuable developmental reps for younger players.
There are no playoff implications, but compelling storylines remain — including Minshew stepping in for Mahomes and Ward testing himself against Kansas City’s defense.
