KANSAS CITY – The Titans let one get away here last night against the Chiefs.
A decided underdog, the Titans led for a good chunk of the game at Arrowhead Stadium.
But the Chiefs rallied to win 20-17 in overtime, and they snapped Tennessee’s five-game winning streak in the process.
“It’s very disappointing,” Titans coach Mike Vrabel said. “I feel terrible for the players that compete, that put so much into this and play through pain, through discomfort, through any situation. I am lucky that I get to coach them – they fight.
“There’s no moral victories, that’s the thing I want to make clear. We came over here to win, and that’s all we were thinking about doing.”

The Chiefs then took a 20-17 lead with a 28-yard field goal by kicker Harrison Butker with 4:04 left in overtime.
The Titans had a possession in overtime, but they couldn’t do anything with the ball.
“We are just proud of how we played,” Titans safety Kevin Byard said. “I don’t know how many plays we played on defense – probably like 100 or something like that. We gave up a ton of yards, but we battled our asses off. We kept us in the game the majority of the game against an explosive offense.
“I told them when I walked to the sideline when they kicked the field goal – ‘Hey, … I can’t ask for nothing more. Everybody was out there battling. Guys were injured, giving everything they’ve got, and that’s all I can ask for at the end of the day.”
Malik Willis made his second career start for the Titans in place of an injured Ryan Tannehill.
Willis completed 5-of-16 passes in the contest for 80 yards, and he also ran for 40 yards on eight carries. Willis saw receivers let catchable deep balls escape their grasp in a game when he was sacked three times.
Running back Derrick Henry went over the 100-yard…
