read bleacher reports article about the Chiefs ability to come from behind in games. it addresses every factor you just stated and whether it can be matched by Tennessee. this game will likely come down to Smith's ability to throw for more than 10 yards

Numbers lie when they are from a year ago. None of these stats have anything to do with the teams playing on Sunday.

KCftbx(redsea) (05:14 PM, October 2, 2013)

This is a sham, the chiefs may not be a spectacular offense to watch but they get the job done when it matters look at their fourth quarter points compared to opponents, not to mention their defense is a freight train. So we turned the ball over three times last week, one was a faulty snap and one pick was pure luck. their was only one solid pick from last week. Not to mention the fact that we still beat the giants 31 to 7 yeah they are winnless but look at our record last year in KC a win and a loss in the NFL is just a play away. I have nothing against the Titans but I see the chiefs winning by 10 or more points, and racking up the lead in the fourth quarter.

These numbers reflect the 2012 season, which was a complete anomaly for the Chiefs given their talent level. Furthermore, Jack Locker won't be starting for the Titans, and Fitzpatrick will be. The numbers presented here reflect Jack Locker running the Titans offense, not Fitzpatrick. I'm not saying the Chiefs are going to blow away the Titans. I think it will be close game, but I'd have to give the edge to KC with Alex Smith and that Defense.

Doubt it. Numbers don't lie. Don't let your allegiance blind you.

What a joke. KC defense will shut the titans down.
