Things did not get off to a great start for the Titans. Damian Williams booted a Chiefs punt into the end zone, but Kansas City recovered to get the first touchdown of the day.

The Titans got on the board early in the third quarter when Chris Johnson took a shovel pass 49 yards to the house. Tennessee added a field goal, taking advantage of an Alex Smith interception to take the lead when Fitzpatrick ran it in himself from five yards out to give the Titans a 17-13 lead.

Ryan Fitzpatrick was put in a tough situation. With Jake Locker hurt, the ex-Bills QB was thrust into a starting role against the undefeated Chiefs.

But then he started to turn things around. He threw a pass to Chris Johnson that turned into a 49-yard touchdown, and after being flushed out of the pocket, he dodged some hits to gut out a nine-yard touchdown run... and celebrated like this:

Naturally, Titans fans were thrilled at this turn of events.

Most of the attention this offseason paid to Kansas City was focused on the additions of Andy Reid and Alex Smith. While both have proven to be very important and highly productive, the real unsung hero has been defensive coordinator Bob Sutton.

Sutton has this defense playing some serious football, hearkening Chiefs fans back to the days of Neil Smith and the late, great Derrick Thomas. Kansas City leads the league with 18 sacks, including a league-pacing 7.5 by Justin Houston. Tamba Hali has also been a handful, leading the league in quarterback pressures. Overall, the defense ranks first in points allowed per game (10.2) and second in passing yard permitted per game (188.8).
