Tennessee Titans, Kansas City Chiefs Series History
In 1959, late Titans owner K.S. “Bud” Adams, Jr. and the late Lamar Hunt, founder of the Chiefs, spearheaded the “Foolish Club,” a group of eight original American Football League teams that would begin play in 1960. ![]() Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (82) catches a touchdown pass in front of Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Sean Smith (21) in the first half at Arrowhead Stadium on September 7th, 2014. (John Rieger-USA TODAY Sports) Adams’ Oilers played in Houston until moving to Tennessee in 1997, while Hunt’s original Dallas Texans moved to Kansas City in 1963. In 1970, the AFL and NFL merged, and the Oilers and Chiefs became members of the American Football Conference. The Titans and Chiefs have met 53 times (regular season and postseason), with the Chiefs leading the series, 29-24. After a four-game winning streak from 1990-93, the Titans lost seven out of 10 against the Chiefs until taking the last four contests, including three consecutive wins at Arrowhead Stadium. The most recent time the clubs squared off in Kansas City was when the Chiefs hosted the Titans in a wild card game on January 6th, 2018. The Titans trailed 21-3 at the start of the second half but came back to win 22-21, tying the second-largest comeback by a road team in NFL playoff history. Running back Derrick Henry set a then-franchise playoff record with 191 scrimmage yards, while quarterback Marcus Mariota completed two touchdown passes, including one to himself on a deflected pass. On December 18th, 2016, the Titans played their coldest game in franchise history, with a kickoff temperature at Arrowhead Stadium of 1 degree. Ryan Succop nailed a 53-yard field goal as time expired to give the Titans the win. Tennessee is 2-2 against the Chiefs at Nissan Stadium, including a 35-32 victory on November 10th, 2019 in the most recent meeting at the Titans’ home. Ryan Tannehill’s 23-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Adam Humphries gave the Titans the lead with 23 seconds on the clock, and then defensive back Joshua Kalu preserved the win by blocking a potential game-tying 52-yard field goal attempt as time expired. Prior to their 2017 wild card battle, the two franchises have played two other playoff games, and the Chiefs were victorious both times. They met on December 12th, 1962 in the third AFL Championship Game, a contest won by the then-Dallas Texans over the Oilers on a Tommy Brooker field goal in double overtime. On January 16th, 1994, Kansas City’s Joe Montana completed three touchdown passes in the second half to help defeat Warren Moon and the Oilers 28-20.
