The undefeated Chiefs have a number of problems at the moment.

Not only are they now trailing, but they’re without their main deep threat.

The Titans have scored 17 unanswered points in the third quarter to go up 17-13, with Ryan Fitzpatrick running for a touchdown and throwing one to Chris Johnson.

If the Chiefs are going to get back in it, they’re going to have to do it without Donnie Avery, who has left with a right shoulder injury, and won’t come back.

Avery had receptions of 44 and 41 yards in the first half, but on the second, he landed awkwardly on his shoulder. He returned in the second half, but didn’t last long, and the team announced he would not return.
