The first half was ugly for the Titans. The second half has been ugly for the Chiefs.

Derrick Henry ran for a 35-yard touchdown in the first minute of the fourth quarter, and suddenly the Titans, who trailed 21-3 at halftime, are right back in the game. The Titans went for two after the touchdown but failed, so they’re now down 21-16.

Henry’s score came after Marcus Mariota threw a touchdown pass to himself to get the Titans in the end zone for the first time today.

Mike Mularkey may be coaching for his job today. If so, he’s making a pretty good case for himself. We’ve got ourselves a ball game.
