Are the Chiefs done, or are the Titans that good?

The Chiefs are 3-3. Mahomes is having a rough year so far. Right now they are down 27-0 to the Titans at half. Are the Titans that legit, or is it that the Chiefs high flying offense has run its course?

Personally, after watching the Titans and Derrick Henry beat an extremely good Buffalo team, I think that they may be the team to beat in the AFC.

The Bills win struck me as a bit fluky. Titans are laying claim to #2, but I still like Buffalo in a rematch.
So much road and so few places, so much friendliness and so little intimacy, so much flavour and so little taste.

That said, I don't see how Mahomes gets back to form with that line in front of him. And this is after they pulled out all the stops this offseason.

Titans are good. Think they’re getting healthier and that Cardinals loss isn’t looking bad as the weeks progress. I think KC has more holes than you think looking past the big 3.

They've beaten the Bills and Chiefs in consecutive weeks. Tannehill is playing smart at QB. Henry didn't reach 100 yards yesterday but is a mightly weapon to wear teams down in the 4th quarter. They have a decent D. I'd say they're still a dark horse behind the Bills but definitely in the conversation for reaching the SB.

Is Mahomes okay? That knee to the head looked brutal.

Mahomes is finding out what playing behind a crap line is like.

That's what I was going to say. It all starts on the line (both sides) and they lost two great OTs and we are seeing what happens when that occurs (saw it at the end of last year when they both went down).
