The temperature was 1 degree with a minus-19 wind chill when the Kansas City Chiefs kicked off at Arrowhead Stadium against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
The cold temperatures, however, were nothing compared to the cold blow the Chiefs took to their season when Titans kicker Ryan Succop nailed a 53-yard field goal as the time expired to secure a 19-17 Tennessee victory.
Entering the game at 10-3, one game up on the Oakland Raiders in the AFC West and sitting in second place in the AFC standings, this game was important for the Chiefs. A win would have clinched Kansas City’s playoff berth in the AFC and brought the Chiefs one step closer to securing a first-round playoff bye.
