The Tennessee Titans snapped an 11-game home losing streak, securing their first home victory in over a year with a dominant 26-9 win over the injury-ravaged Kansas City Chiefs, who are now guaranteed their first losing record since 2012.
The Tennessee Titans finally broke a long-standing jinx, ending an 11-game home losing streak that had plagued the franchise for over a year, by triumphing over the Kansas City Chiefs with a decisive 26-9 victory. Interim coach Mike McCoy lauded the win as a testament to team effort, celebrating the Titans' first home win since November 3, 2024 (likely 2023). Rookie quarterback Cam Ward was instrumental, delivering 228 passing yards and two touchdowns, achieving a season-high passer rating of 122.3, and surpassing Marcus Mariota's rookie passing yard record for the franchise. Running back Tony Pollard added to the offensive prowess with 102 rushing yards, marking his third consecutive 100-yard game. The Titans' defense was equally formidable, highlighted by a safety from three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and a collective four sacks. The Chiefs, already reeling from Patrick Mahomes' season-ending ACL injury, faced further setbacks when backup quarterback Gardner Minshew exited the game with a knee injury, leading to Chris Oladokun, freshly promoted from the practice squad, taking the helm. This defeat guarantees the Chiefs (6-9) their first losing season since 2012 and extends their current losing streak to four games.
