Titans-Chiefs Supplemental Notes FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JANUARY 16, 2020 TITANS-CHIEFS SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES THREE CONSECUTIVE GAMES WITH 200 SCRIMMAGE YARDS: Last week Derrick Henry became the first player in NFL history to rush for at least 180 yards in three consecutive regular season or postseason games. He also became only the third player since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger to have 200 scrimmage yards in three consecutive games. The other two players to accomplish the feat were Chicago Bears running back Walter Payton (1977) and Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell (2014). During the 2019 regular season and playoffs, Henry and Carolina Panthers running backChristian McCaffrey (two) are the only two players with multiple 200-yard scrimmage games. Together they account for five of the 13 such individual performances. Most consecutive games with at least 200 scrimmage yards in the regular season and/or postseason, 1970–present: Player Team Dates Games 1. Derrick Henry Tennessee Titans Dec. 29, 2019–Jan. 11, 2020 3 (active) Le’Veon Bell Pittsburgh Steelers Nov. 17–Dec. 7, 2014 3 Walter Payton Chicago Bears Nov. 13–Nov. 24, 1977 3 4. (several tied) 2 HISTORIC RUSHING PACE: Titans running back Derrick Henry has accumulated 377 rushing yards on 64 attempts through two postseason games, setting a new single-game franchise record in consecutive weeks. He had 182 yards on 34 carries in the wild card round at New England and 195 yards on 30 attempts in the divisional round at Baltimore. Henry’s pace of 188.5 rushing yards per game is the best in a single postseason in NFL history for players with at least two games played. The next-closest average is 156.0 yards per game by Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis during the 1998 playoffs. In Titans/Oilers history, Eddie George established the record for average rushing yards in a single postseason in the 1999 playoffs. In four games, George carried the ball 108 times for 449 yards, or an average of 112.3 yards per contest. Most rushing yards per game in a single NFL postseason (minimum two games): Rush Yards Player Team Season Games Rush Yards Per Game 1. Derrick Henry Tennessee Titans 2019 2 377 188.5 2.

Fred Taylor Jacksonville Jaguars 1998 2 248 124.0 George’s 449 yards during the team’s run to Super Bowl XXXIV also established the franchise benchmark for most total rushing yards in a single postseason. With 73 rushing yards this week at Kansas City, Henry would pass him. (continued on next page) Most rushing yards in a single postseason, franchise history: Player Season Games Rush Yards 1.

Derrick Henry 2017 2 184 With at least one more game to play, Henry’s playoff rushing yardage total already ranks seventh in NFL history. He needs 123 yards this week to become the third player in league annals to reach 500 rushing yards in a postseason. Only Washington’s John Riggins (610 in 1982) and Davis (581 in 1997) have done so in the past. Most total rushing yards in a single NFL postseason: Player Team Season Games Rush Yards 1.

Freeman McNeil New York Jets 1982 3 349 TITANS ALLOWING 12.5 POINTS PER GAME THROUGH DIVISIONAL ROUND: The Titans allowed a total of 25 points to their first two playoff opponents. The Patriots scored 13 points against them in the wild card round, while the Ravens managed only 12 points in the divisional matchup. It has been 17 seasons since a team navigated through the playoffs allowing less than 13 points per game (minimum two games). The last team to accomplish the feat was the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers during their run to a Super Bowl XXXVII title. However, the Titans will be challenged to keep opponent scoring down this week. During the 2019 regular season, the Chiefs ranked fifth in the NFL with an average of 28.2 points scored per game (451 total points). Top postseason scoring defenses, 2003-2019 (minimum two games): Points Points Allowed Team Season Games Allowed Per Game 1. Tennessee Titans 2019 2 25 12.5 2. Seattle Seahawks 2013 3 40 13.3 3.

Seven Titans rookies have seen action during the wild card and divisional rounds. Executive vice president/general manager Jon Robinson selected six players in the 2019 NFL Draft, which was held in Nashville, and five of those picks have played extensively this postseason: defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons (first round), wide receiverA.J. Brown (second round), guard Nate Davis (third round), defensive back Amani Hooker (fourth round) and inside linebacker David Long (sixth round). Additionally, undrafted outside linebacker Derick Roberson and fullback Khari Blasingame (undrafted with Minnesota) have made contributions. The only member of Robinson’s 2019 draft class that has not played extensively this postseason is fifth-round outside linebacker D’Andre Walker, who was placed on injured reserve during the preseason. (continued on next page) The Titans rookies have played a total of 572 playoff snaps (includes plays called back due to penalties). That is the most among all 12 playoff teams in the first two rounds and includes a playoff-high 210 total snaps on defense. Most play snaps by rookies during the 2019 playoffs*: Team Games Off Snaps Def Snaps ST Snaps Total Per Game 1. Tennessee Titans 2 241 210 121 572 286.0 2. Seattle Seahawks 2 224 151 113 488 244.0 3. Minnesota Vikings 2 271 1 132 404 202.0 4. Baltimore Ravens 1 284 35 19 338 338.0 5. Houston Texans 2 154 85 96 335 167.5 6. Buffalo Bills 1 163 28 43 234 234.0 7. New Orleans Saints 1 65 91 52 208 208.0 8. Green Bay Packers 1 91 70 44 205 205.0 9. San Francisco 49ers 1 54 74 21 149 149.0 10. Philadelphia Eagles 1 60 43 40 143 143.0 11. Kansas City Chiefs 1 11 58 73 142 142.0 12. New England Patriots 1 41 7 41 89 89.0 * Snaps include plays called back due to penalties. FIVE CONSECUTIVE ROAD VICTORIES: The Titans were able to clinch a playoff berth in part due to winning their final three road games of the regular season—at Indianapolis (Dec. 1), Oakland (Dec. 8) and Houston (Dec. 29). Their two playoff successes at New England (Jan. 4) and Baltimore (Jan. 11) give them a five-game road winning streak heading into this week’s AFC Championship game in Kansas City. With a win this week, the Titans’ six-game road winning streak would match the best such run in franchise history. The only other season in which the team won six consecutive road games in the regular season or playoffs was 2008. A six-game road winning streak would tie for the second-longest such streak during the 2019 NFL regular season and playoffs, behind only the New Orleans Saints’ seven straight wins (Sept. 22–Dec. 29). The Baltimore Ravens (Oct. 6–Dec. 22) and Seattle Seahawks (Sept. 15–Nov. 24) also had six- game road winning streaks. Longest road winning streaks in a season (regular season and/or postseason) in franchise history: Consecutive Season Dates Road Wins 1. 2008 Sept. 14–Nov. 27, 2008 6 2. 2019 Dec. 1, 2019–Jan. 11, 2020 5 (active) 1961 Oct. 29–Dec. 24, 1961 5 1993 Oct. 17–Dec. 25, 1993 5 5. 2000 Sept. 24–Oct. 30, 2000 4 1978 Nov. 12–Dec. 31, 1978 4 1974 Oct. 27–Dec. 1, 1974 4 PEES TRYING TO COORDINATE THIRD DEFENSE TO SUPER BOWL: Defensive coordinator Dean Pees has helped direct a defense that allowed 13 points to quarterback Tom Brady and the New England Patriots offense in the wild card round and then held Lamar Jackson and the Ravens attack to 12 points in the divisional round. In doing so, Pees helped defeat two teams that he previously helped lead to Super Bowls.

  • GARY KUBIAK HEAD COACH – 22Nd NFL Season (12Th with Broncos)
    GARY KUBIAK HEAD COACH – 22nd NFL Season (12th with Broncos) Gary Kubiak, a 23-year coaching veteran and three-time Super Bowl champion, enters his third decade with the Denver Broncos after being named the 15th head coach in club history on Jan. 19, 2015. A backup quarterback for nine seasons (1983-91) with the Broncos and an offensive coordinator for 11 years (1995- 2005) with the club, Kubiak returns to Denver after spending eight years (2006-13) as head coach of the Houston Texans and one season (2014) as offensive coordinator with the Baltimore Ravens. During 21 seasons working in the NFL, Kubiak has coached 30 players to a total of 57 Pro Bowl selections. He has appeared in eight conference championship games and six Super Bowls as a player or coach and was part of three World Championship staffs (S.F., 1994; Den., 1997-98) as a quarterbacks coach or offensive coordinator. In his most recent position as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator in 2014, he oversaw one of the NFL’s most improved and explosive units to help the Ravens advance to the AFC Divisional Playoffs. His offense posted the third-largest overall improvement (+57.5 ypg) in the NFL from the previous season and posted nearly 50 percent more big plays (74 plays of 20+yards) from the year before he arrived. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco recorded career highs in passing yards (3,986) and touchdown passes (27) under Kubiak’s guidance while running back Justin Forsett ranked fifth in the league in rushing (1,266 yds.) to earn his first career Pro Bowl selection.
