If this was Alex Smith’s last stand with the Kansas City Chiefs, it will have ended with perhaps his most painful loss.
The Chiefs went scoreless in the second half of their 22-21 defeat to the Tennessee Titans in the Wild Card playoff round on Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium.
Gone was a deep playoff run from a team that seemed to have found its bearings after a midseason slump. The Chiefs entered the postseason with a full head of steam after peeling off four straight victories, and the momentum carried into Saturday’s game when they jumped to a 21-3 halftime lead.
