Saturday afternoon featured some very fun NFL playoff football, but the early game between the Titans and Chiefs was marred by some horrendous officiating. The primary culprit? Head official Jeff Triplette, who repeatedly bumbled calls on the mic after repeatedly blowing plays dead early and lacking control over the game in general.
There are questions about Eli Manning's future with the Giants since he is 37 years old and was benched for a game this season for the first time since he was a rookie in 2004. However, wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall figure to return after season-ending ankle injuries, and rookie tight end Evan Engram impressed in 2017 with 722 receiving yards and six touchdown catches.
he can have New York in the playoffs for just the second time since it won the Super Bowl in the 2011 season.,If Patricia can make those offensive pieces work and bring his defensive expertise to the other side of the ball
Murray's absence means Derrick Henry will see a vast majority of the carries for Tennessee, bruising back—listed at 6'3'', which knocked off Kansas City 22-21 last week thanks in large part to Henry's performance. The second-year back out of Alabama, rushed for 156 yards and a score on 23 carries.

Murray,Authentic Kevin Dodd Jersey, who is six years younger than Murray, 29,Authentic Sean Taylor Jersey, and there's growing belief that the Titans view Henry, rushed for 659 yards and six touchdowns on the season but averaged just 3.6 yards per carry. Henry rushed for 744 yards and five touchdowns on 4.2 yards per carry, as the back of the future. Murray could be moved this offseason.
No matter who is in the backfield for Tennessee,Authentic Austin Johnson Jersey, beating the Patriots will be a monumental challenge. The Titans enter Saturday's game as a 13.5-point underdog,Authentic Josh Norman Jersey, and they'll need to establish a running game and control the clock to stay close.

If you're a Chiefs' fan and looking for some good news, early in the second half and ended up losing that game, this is about the best we can do: Saturday's 22-21 playoff loss to the Titans wasn't the worst in the Andy Reid era.

For starters, the Chiefs led, 21-3, at home, perhaps we all should have known this was coming; the Chiefs have now lost six straight home playoff games, against a Titans outfit that was predictable on offense and porous on defense. Of course, and 10 of their last 11 postseason games. And quarterback Alex Smith, is just 1-3 in the playoffs.
