This is the kind of come from behind victory that we see from true Super Bowl contenders. The Kansas City Chiefs were down by a considerable amount, but got down to business and ended up winning by 20 points.

All that stands between the Chiefs from their first Super Bowl appearance in 50 years is a date with the pesky Tennessee Titans next weekend. Because the Ravens lost on Saturday night, Kansas City will host the AFC Championship game again this year, and while the Titans are a formidable foe, the Chiefs have shown that they can come back and stick it to their opponents.

Tennessee has had KC’s number since Andy Reid came to town, but this is a different team now and they showed in this win over Houston that nothing really fazes them. Down by 24? No problem. They’re going to hit you in the mouth and play their style of football.

Obviously Derrick Henry is a scary player, capable of winning games all on his own, and it’ll be interesting to see if Kansas City is able to stop him this time around; They haven’t had much luck doing so in their three previous meetings.
