Go Titans.

I'm perfectly fine with their going for it on 4th down. That was the right call. Not the right play call, but the right call.

I agree. Going for it was right. But I’m putting Watson on the move somehow.

I disagree, but I can see how a 4th down conversion wins the game being better than a field goal only guaranteeing you a 6-point lead.

Just given what we had seen of Josh Allen, he did not inspire much confidence to lead the Bills offense on a TD drive to win.

Plus, the Bills were psychologically crushed after they screwed the pooch the previous time down the field. Kicking a FG further dispirits them and puts the boot to their throats. Stopping Watson on 4th down re-invigorated them because now they only needed to advance the ball 50 yards for a game-tying FG.

This was a game we shouldn't have won then shouldn't have lost only to have it go to overtime where they won. Anyway, the L-W-W sequence continues and it will be severely put to the test next weekend on the road.

I was having a hard time rooting for the Titans even if it helped the Texans, but then I saw Vrabel shaved his mustache and it became 100% easier to root for him. He now looks like a human being instead of the grown up version of the bad guy in an 80s teen comedy.

He had it shaven last week. I don’t remember who they were playing. Maybe I noticed it on SportsCenter.

Well, there's a fine turn of events. Texans heading to KC next weekend and the Titans going to Baltimore.....

Titans pull it off and defeat the Pats 20-13...

So I was certain of two things and as it turned out I was correct about one of them. As I look back on my life, that seems about right.

Going to Kansas City!
Kansas City, here I come!
Going to Kansas City!
Kansas City, here I come!
They got some crazy lovin' women there
And I'm gonna get me one.

Well, I might take a train.
I might take a plane.
But if I'm gonna go,
I'm goin' just the same.

Going to Kansas City.
Kansas City, here I come!
They got some crazy lovin' women there
And I'm gonna get me one.

Thanks, Titans!

BTW, the Houston-KC rematch will be next Sunday 3:05 pm ET on SeeBS.
