When the Kansas City Chiefs came into Nashville back in November, no one know that game would wind up being a preview of Sunday’s AFC Championship game.
Now, 69 days later, the two teams will meet again.
The venue has changed from Nissan Stadium to Arrowhead Stadium and the stake are raised. The Titans and the Chiefs are the last two teams standing in the AFC, and only one of them will represent the conference in Miami for Super Bowl LIV.
Tennessee used Week 10’s thrilling 35-32 victory as a catalyst to fuel its postseason push, and ended the regular season as one of the hottest teams in football.
The Titans won four of their final six games, including a pseudo playoff game at Houston in Week 17.
But no team has played better football since Week 10 than Kansas City. The Chiefs haven’t lost since visiting the Titans, closing the regular season easily dispatching its AFC West rivals Broncos, Chargers and Raiders, and scoring impressive road wins over the New England Patriots and Chicago Bears.
Here’s a closer to look as to how both the Titans and Chiefs have played since their first meeting in Nashville.
