Yeah, the Titans were on a brutal road trip, so at some point, it had to end. Plus, I can tell that the Chiefs made some adjustments in the 2nd quarter that I sensed that Tennessee's run game was beginning to stall. They flooded the box so much, that Tennessee couldn't put enough bodies to clear the way for Henry. It also helps that the backend was, for the most part, disciplined on not giving up a bomb.
As for the refs who had been told to get the Chiefs to the Super Bowl, I don't buy that one bit at all. Let me put it this way. There were no controversies at all, compared to last year's gaffes in the AFC and NFC championship games. Also, your coach bailed his running game a little too early than he should had. At least he could have improvised the running game with an speedier back to attack the outside edges or do some jet sweeps to loosen up the box. To my recollection, I didn't see much of that.
Garopollo doesn't scare me. If San Francisco has a QB that is either Watson, Jackson, or Mahomes, then that's one thing. But they don't. They do have a legit defense, I will give them that, but KC has also faced good defenses as well.
