It's true that if your defense contains our offense for 60 minutes - something nobody has a lot of luck doing when we're healthy - and if you can play mistake-free football on the ground, you'd have a good chance to win. I've just seen so many times in our team's history that in the postseason when you play games so close to the vest like that, you're only one mistake or one great play away from losing. And teams in the final four generally are good at making great plays and forcing mistakes.
This is going to be a whale of a game I think, but I like our chances because I'm always going to like the passing game over the running game in today's NFL, I like the matchup between our passing game and the Titans' secondary, I like the matchup between Reid and Vrabel. It will be a fascinating test of opposite styles though.

The titans remind me very much of the '90 chiefs.
Deberg was playing his best football of his life, and taking care of the ball.
We pounded the running game, with a few long passes via play-action.
The difference here is: the titans defense is nowhere near as good as the 90 chiefs.
If mahomes has time to throw (like he did Sunday), we'll be just fine.
