Titans can tie a franchise record with AFC Championship win over Chiefs

The Tennessee Titans make their first AFC Championship appearance since the 2002 season this week against the Kansas City Chiefs with a spot in the Super Bowl on the line.

The team also has a chance to make franchise history with a victory.

The Titans have won five consecutive games, which is impressive for a team that got off to such a slow start this season.

But to record six in a row would tie the franchise record for most back-to-back wins.

The 2008 team was the only one to do it, winning every contest from Sept. 14, 2008 to Nov. 27, 2008.

The 1961 team and the 1993 team were the only two others to tie the current team at five consecutive wins.

Teams from 2000, 1978 and 1974 just trail the current Titans team with four wins in a row.

The Titans stand a chance of breaking the record if they make it on to the Super Bowl, as taking it all over the Green Bay Packers or the San Francisco 49ers would bring that consecutive win total to seven.

The outcome of that game will be determined when the two teams meet at 5:40 p.m. CST on Sunday in Levi’s Stadium in the NFC Championship.

The Titans and Chiefs are set to kick off at 2:05 p.m. CST on Sunday in Arrowhead Stadium.
