Titans vs. Chiefs: A 'soft' Derrick Henry and 'macho' coaching won't win | Tennessean
“I didn’t feel like a workhorse back. I kind of felt soft,” Henry said. “I wasn’t really happy about my game at all. It hasn’t left my mind since the clock hit zero. … I just felt like I didn’t run like myself. I wasn’t really happy. I could say other words, but I’ve got to play better.”

Injuries force changes on Chiefs special teams for playoffs | Chiefs Digest
“There may be a situation, a special situation where Andy says, hey, let’s get our A-team in there with and we go with Tyreek,” Toub said. “But it’s going to be a long shot if that happens.”
Toub said experience stands as premium during the playoffs. That favors players such as Robinson and West over rookies including Jehu Chesson and Leon McQuay, both of whom returned kicks on Sunday.
“We’re going to practice hard with all the guys that we have knowing that we still have Tyreek if we need it,” Toub said.

Titans: Kansas City writer expects Chiefs to win at home Saturday | Tennessean
You will get 100 different answers if you ask 100 different people here, and my hot take is that WAY too many Kansas Citians act like there's only one place — their place. There are dozens, and that might be underselling it. Jack Stack is the best for a white tablecloth kind of dinner, Q39 and Char Bar are like a 1/2 step down on the fancy with a better beer list, and Joe's KC is probably my favorite — the line is always really long, but it moves fast, the food is consistently killer, and if you go on a Wednesday or Saturday you have to get the burnt ends. But Slap's is a great place, super casual, lunch only and they close when they run out of food, which is always a good sign. Gates and Bryant's are famous for a reason, but if you go to Gates, be warned that you might have the best barbecue meal available in Kansas City but you also might have the worst.

The key to this game for the Titans is going to be the play of quarterback Marcus Mariota. Kansas City's offense has been on a roll over the last month, and to keep the game close, the Titans will need their dual-threat quarterback to both produce points and keep the Chiefs offense off the field.
