NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Interstat) — A matchup of teams at the bottom of the standings will feature a compelling quarterback duel when the Kansas City Chiefs visit the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at Nissan Stadium. The Chiefs (6-8) arrive on a three-game losing streak, while the Titans (2-12) have lost 10 of their last 11. Despite the dismal records, the game is highlighted by the presence of Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and Tennessee rookie Cam Ward. Mahomes remains the focal point for Kansas City, though the team has struggled to find consistent wins. In last week’s 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Mahomes passed for 189 yards and a touchdown while adding 15 yards on the ground. His recent performances have been a mix of high-volume passing and key rushing contributions, including a four-touchdown effort in a narrow loss to Dallas on Nov. 27. For the Titans, Ward has provided sparks for an offense on a struggling team. He threw for two touchdowns in last week’s 37-24 loss at San Francisco and engineered a game-winning drive in a 31-29 upset at Cleveland on Dec. 7. His dual-threat capability, with 37 rushing yards and a score against Seattle on Nov. 23, poses a challenge for defenses. Kansas City’s season has been defined by inconsistency, alternating promising wins with narrow losses. Their defense kept them in recent games, but offensive production has faltered. Tennessee’s season has been a struggle, though running back Tony Pollard’s 104-yard performance last week showed a capable ground game. According to National Statistical’s game simulator, the Titans are projected to win 29-24. Oddsmakers have installed Tennessee as a 3-point favorite, with an over/under of 37.5 points, suggesting a relatively close, lower-scoring affair. The game holds draft order implications for the Titans and faint playoff hopes for the Chiefs, who must win out and receive significant help. For both, it represents a chance to build momentum before closing the season. Kansas City hosts Denver on Christmas Day, while Tennessee welcomes New Orleans on Dec. 28.
