The Kansas City Chiefs walked out of Arrowhead Stadium at 6-2 on Sunday night, while the Tennessee Titans fell to 5-3 on the year. This game was one of the uglier wins you will see from this team, but it was a win, nonetheless.
One of the biggest questions going into this game was who would play at quarterback for the Titans. Ryan Tannehill, the usual starter, missed the team's Week 8 matchup and it was unclear as to whether or not he'd play against the Chiefs.
Or so we thought.
"No, we weren't surprised," defensive tackle Chris Jones said. "I talked to Jeff Simmons [Titans DL] earlier in the week, you know, gotta pick the brain, we knew that he [Malik Willis] was going to play. Tannehill was in a boot, so we prepared for him well. I don't think we gave up that many rushing yards against him.
"Second half, I just saw 27 plays and seven yards. Kudos to the defense, we played a hell of a game. Second half I would say. First half we kind of gave up some leaky yardage, but a heck of a team win."
Maybe I'm wrong here, but I really don't want to be, but it sounds like Jones is saying that Simmons may have leaked some information out to the Chiefs before the game.
It seems like the Chiefs knew before everyone else that Tannehill wasn't playing, and it definitely seemed like it was based on the way they played.
The Chiefs held Willis to just 120 total yards on the day, which includes passing and rushing. If you ask me, they were definitely prepared.
