Because yeah, you spot TN a 21 point lead and they can do a lot to bleed the clock on you.

I agree 100% with Andy to defer to the 2nd half precisely because it allows you to do what KC did yesterday. And I think I'd do it if the Chiefs win the toss next week. Buuuuuut....against TN I'd think a little harder. There's a real advantage to getting out in front of them early and as much as a 10-0 lead against them might be more valuable than a chance to double-dip over the halves.

I also thought I heard/read a stat where TN dominates teams in the 3rd quarter this season. That could factor into Andy's decision.
