Kansas City Chiefs defeat Tennessee Titans for AFC title, first Super Bowl berth in 50 years
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — This time, Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs took care of business.
The Chiefs did need to climb out of an early hole to secure the victory. For the second time in as many weeks, they spotted their opponent a double-digit first-half lead before coming to life. Tennessee’s 17-7 advantage midway through the second quarter ——powered by Derrick Henry’s eight carries for 32 yards and a touchdown — wasn’t as dramatic, however, as the 24-0 deficit Kansas City faced in the divisional round against the Houston Texans.
Kansas City never trailed again. Despite a quiet first half, Damien Williams rushed for 45 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown on 17 carries. And the Chiefs defense limited Henry, who averaged 188.5 yards the previous two weeks, to 69 yards for the day on 19 carries.
