Redskins: Why Alex Smith could be a short term replacement at quarterback if Kirk Cousins walks

On Saturday afternoon, the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Tennessee Titans in heartbreaking fashion. In the first round of the 2018 NFL playoffs, the Chiefs held a 21-3 lead on the Titans heading into the half. They put up zero points in the second half and blew the game, falling by a final score of 22-21. The disappointing loss for the Chiefs likely spells the end of the Alex Smith era in Kansas City.

To be clear, Smith was not the reason that the Chiefs lost this game at all. In fact, he had a solid performance, completing 24-of-33 passes for 264 yards and a couple of scores.
