Getty Images Patrick Mahomes has plenty of weapons around him. That often understates what a weapon he is himself. The Chiefs quarterback just gave his team a 21-17 lead just before half with a ridiculous 27-yard touchdown run. He appeared to be stopped, down, or out of bounds at least three...

Getty Images No one currently can stop Titans running back Derrick Henry. Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark believes he can, and he’s not afraid to say so. “He’s not hard to hit,” Clark told James Palmer of NFL Media. “He’s just a big guy. 240, 245, 250. Honestly he should be running harder at...

Getty Images Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons avoided a fine for unsportsmanlike conduct. Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports that the NFL found no visual evidence of Simmons spitting on Ravens right guard Marshal Yanda, who, in postgame interviews, had accused the rookie of doing just...

Getty Images Dee Ford used to wear No. 55 as a pass rusher in Kansas City. Frank Clark now wears No. 55 as a pass rusher in Kansas City. If not for Ford lining up offsides at a crucial moment in last year’s AFC Championship Game, the Chiefs might not have traded Ford to the 49ers and traded...

Getty Images Titans running back Derrick Henry is already in elite company with his postseason accomplishments. Henry ran for 195 yards in last weekend’s win over the Ravens, and 182 yards the week before against the Patriots. Henry also ran for 156 yards two years ago in a playoff win over...

You read PFT, obviously. You watch PFT Live, hopefully. You listen to #PFTPM, possibly. I know, it can be confusing to figure out where and how to find podcasts (even though they’re pretty much everywhere). So we make it easy for you. From time to time, we drop into the PFT content a player...

Getty Images Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill wasn’t supposed to be starting in the AFC Championship Game. A year ago, the Dolphins were done with him, and when the Titans traded for him, it was to be a backup. But after Marcus Mariota was benched, Tannehill turned in the best statistics of...

Getty Images Defensive tackle Chris Jones practiced for the first time this week on Friday, but the team isn’t ready to make a call about his status for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game just yet. Jones has been dealing with a calf injury and he missed last Sunday’s victory over the Texans...

Getty Images The Titans aren’t in perfect health, but it’s mid-January, so they’re probably as close as you can get. They listed seven players as questionable on the final injury report, and all of them participated in a limited basis during Friday’s practice. That group does not include...

Getty Images There won’t be a change in defensive tackle Chris Jones’ status at Thursday’s Chiefs practice. Jones missed last Sunday’s game with a calf injury and sat out of practice on Wednesday. Head coach Andy Reid said that Jones will sit out on Thursday as well. Reid said that running...

Getty Images There’s no point pretending it’s normal, because it’s not. But faced with the unappetizing reality of being benched in midseason, former No. 2 overall pick Marcus Mariota is choosing to help the Titans however he can. “It’s different for me for sure, but I appreciate the fact...

Getty Images The Titans were missing one player at Wednesday’s practice, but cornerback Logan Ryan‘s absence wasn’t an extended one. Ryan was out with an illness as the team began on-field preparations for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs. He was back on the field on Thursday...

Getty Images The Titans have kept their season alive by winning their last three games and running back Derrick Henry has had a lot to do with those victories. Henry’s had at least 32 touches in each of those three wins and it is hard to imagine that the Titans are going to be deviating from...

Getty Images With Derrick Henry doing the heavy lifting, Ryan Tannehill has thrown 29 passes for 160 yards in the Titans’ two playoff victories. The quarterback is fine with any formula that leads to another win and a trip to the Super Bowl. “Well I mean, being a quarterback, obviously I love...

Getty Images The challenge has been issued, by Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill to the Tennessee Titans defense. “I feel like nobody in the NFL can guard any of us, and that’s no disrespect to nobody,” Hill told reporters on Wednesday, via NFL.com. “That’s just the confidence that I got in myself...

Getty Images The Titans signed kicker Greg Joseph ahead of Week 16 of the regular season because Ryan Succop was headed to injured reserve and the team’s field goal kicking had been subpar all season. Joseph hasn’t done anything to lift the team’s percentage, but he hasn’t hurt it either. The...

Getty Images Since the NFL expanded the playoffs to six teams from each conference in 1990, the No. 6 seeds have not done very well — with two exceptions: The 2005 Steelers and 2010 Packers, both of whom won the Super Bowl. The Titans want to become the third. If the Titans beat the Chiefs on...

Getty Images The postseason is rocketing toward a crescendo, and MDS enjoys a one-game lead with three to play because someone (i.e., me) foolishly believed the Vikings would beat the 49ers — and failed to surrender to the gut feeling that the Titans would beat the Ravens. This week, we...

Getty Images Jeffery Simmons wouldn’t comment on Marshal Yanda‘s accusation that the Titans rookie defensive lineman spit at him during Saturday’s game. On Wednesday, Simmons neither admitted nor denied the incident recounted by the Ravens offensive guard, per Paul Kuharsky of...

Getty Images There was some good news for the Titans defense at Wednesday’s practice as linebacker Jayon Brown got on the field for the first time in the postseason. There was also a little bit of bad news. Cornerback Logan Ryan didn’t take part in the first practice ahead of Sunday’s AFC...
