Got to get past the best OT pair in the NFL first

And you know they going to be abusing him in the run game

Doubtful unless you guys employ some delayed handoffs. Our OLBs are pretty stalwart, especially Houston.

We're soft up the middle. Unless our defense has an A+ game and we bring extra guys in the box I expect your guys go for near 200 rushing.

I think Justin Houston can handle just about any OT you throw at him!!!

They did pretty well against DeMarcus Ware and Von Miller

88 pass yards ?

I think the cold is going to effect Mariota more than they think. It's going to be colder than last Thursday's game...and I couldn't imagine playing in that.

KC has the advantage of practicing in it all week.

Sutton's going to focus on stopping the run and force Mariota into proving he can play in a 0 windchill, hostile stadium.

I think this is the game where Maclin gets back to form. Titans are going to be giving Kelce and Hill a lot of attention.

It was mid-20s today in Nashville with an ugly windchill. Hopefully the team spent some time outside. Mariota had been experimenting earlier with a throwing glove (for the cold) but is unlikely to use it.

They have all week. My office is near the Titan's practice field, you can hear the air horns for practice outside.

But I've been in Arrowhead when it's going to be as cold as it will be on Sunday. It's bone-chilling-soul-stealing-sink-the-Edmund-Fitzgerald cold. Weather is going to be a factor for TN.

Maybe, but how will he respond to two Tackles on him at the same time?

Titans use their 3rd OT as a TE to neutralize everyone off the edge this year

He'll literally murder both of them, tbh

There have been plenty of defenders who were going to murder them only to end up flat on their backs

They will be literally dead before they even see him

Im not knocking Houston's ability, but youre telling me he's going to beat two 320lb Tackles?

If Anthony Barr, Khalil Mack, Cameron Wake, Von Miller, and everybody else were all held in check there no reason Titan fans should worry too much about anyone.

Over 600lbs of man lock down the edges most snaps, no one is getting thru that, sorry.

You guys do have the best pair of tackles in the NFL in my opinion, but Justin Houston is not like any of the ends you mentioned. He's bigger, he's stronger, he's better against the run. Conk is going to have to bring his A++ game to keep Houston in check because he hasn't seen a bullrush, coupled with a complete set of pass rush moves, like Houston has yet. I think you'll have much more success against Ford, who is much more one dimensional and much weaker (ala Barr, Mack, Miller).
