Former Titans center makes one of the Chiefs’ most frustrating playoff losses that much worse with recent comments
The Kansas City Chiefs lost that playoff game against the Titans in the worst way possible.
As the Kansas City Chiefs start their 2025 season 2-3, the worst they have started a season in a very long time, it’s important to remember where the Chiefs come from. Sure, they’re the dynasty, but things weren’t always sunshine and rainbows. In fact, they have a pretty embarrassing playoff loss just before the start of the dynasty.
And now, it may be even more embarrassing after a new wrinkle was revealed.
“I’ve been in multiple offenses. When we had Terry Robiskie (Titans OC), he would give us nothing,” former Titans center Ben Jones said on 104.5 The Zone in Nashville, Tennessee. “He literally just said, ‘Y’all go play.’ And we would be like, ‘What is going on?’ It was just like turn off the mic, y’all have fun, boys. The playoff game against the Chiefs (2017), when we came back and won, we got no play call the whole second half from Robiskie… Me and Marcus (Mariota) called the whole second half.”
The Chiefs lost a playoff game to the QB and C playing the OC role
You may all know that game as the one where Marcus Mariota, in his third season, threw a pass to himself for a touchdown, beating the Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium in the Wild Card Round. That part sucked for Chiefs fans, and it felt like with Alex Smith, they could just never get over the hump.
It has to feel a little worse now knowing that Mariota and Ben Jones, the former center, called every single play for the Titans, not their offensive coordinator. That can’t be easy for anyone, let alone a quarterback in his third year who’s playing one of the hardest road games you could ever play in your career. And, they won that game.
Now, the Chiefs and their fans can look back on that and laugh it off, because look at everything they have done since then, which is beat the Titans in the AFC Championship to get to the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers in what was the first Super Bowl win of the dynasty. So, in a way, that loss, the one that started everything for KC and their future, helped KC become a dynasty.
Chiefs vs. Titans History
- Chiefs won last game in 2022 20-17.
- Chiefs lead the all-time series 31-25 over Tennessee.
- Titans held Chiefs without a touchdown in 2021, with a final score of 27-3.
- Patrick Mahomes is 2-2 all time against the Titans, with 2021 KC loss having Chad Henne as the starter.
Now, they have to try to continue that dynasty. So far, things are coming hard for the Chiefs. They just lost a gut-wrenching game to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and now have to play the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football.
