Vengeance is a dish best served cold according to an old Klingon proverb. And so, amid bitterly frigid temperatures, Titans kicker Ryan Succop proved victorious in a 19-17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs with a last minute winning field goal that delivered a crushing defeat to the same team that gave him the boot a couple of years ago.
Other than the defeat . . . The Chiefs played pretty solid football given the chilly circumstances.
Early in the game Tyreek Hill earned his reputation as the fastest man in the NFL with an EPIC touchdown run that should still make the season's highlight reel.
Alex Smith didn't really gave the game away and earned an impressive rushing TD as he seems to be growing more confident after a concussion earlier in the season and despite continual red zone FAIL for the offense.
The defense was exceptional kept the Chiefs in the game until the final play.
