The Tennessee Titans got their third win of the season on Sunday when they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 26-9.
The Chiefs were without Patrick Mahomes, who was placed on injured reserve last week after tearing his ACL. Garnder Minshew got the start under center, but he left in the first half with his own knee injury. Minshew was replaced by Chris Oladokun, who had previously only appeared in one NFL game. Their offense suffered for it.
On the other side of the ball, the Titans played well both offensively and defensively. They’ve started to gel much more over the last couple of weeks, and they managed to take advantage of a Chiefs team that took a huge morale hit when they lost Mahomes and were eliminated from the playoffs in the same game.
Let’s take a look at the best and worst performances in the Titans’ loss as graded by Pro Football Focus.
