Kansas City Chiefs: Titans have played Chiefs tough during Andy Reid era

For Kansas City Chiefs fans, the playoffs are always going to bring a nervous energy around town. This weekend, however, the Chiefs are playing a team that have appeared to have their number.

It might sound weird for Kansas City Chiefs fans to be nervous for this weekend’s Wild Card game at Arrowhead, but I completely understand it. For one, the Chiefs haven’t won a home playoff game since 1994. Second, the Tennessee Titans are no slouch and they’ve gone 2-1 against the Chiefs in the Andy Reid era.

The one time the Chiefs beat the Titans under Reid was during his first year in Kansas City, and even then, the Titans gave the Chiefs quite a scare. In their previous two games against Tennessee, the Chiefs have stumbled, especially last year.

Kansas City was finally in a place to take over the AFC West and leave the Oakland Raiders in the dust, but a last second loss to the Titans occurred at Arrowhead. That left the Chiefs to once again fight for their lives in the race for the division title.

In that game, the Chiefs got off to a hot start (despite it being in the single digits outside) and scored two touchdowns on their first two drives. After that, the offense completely vanished and the Titans were able to capitalize off the Chiefs’ bad offensive production and an atrocious Alex Smith interception late in the game.
