NASHVILLE – Forcing Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to settle for a bunch of field goals gave the Tennessee Titans a chance to stay close.

Ryan Tannehill and a cornerback activated off injured reserve only a week ago helped make the Chiefs pay for their fifth and sixth attempts.

Tannehill threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Adam Humphries with 23 seconds left, and Joshua Kalu blocked a last-second field-goal attempt as the Titans beat the Chiefs 35-32 to spoil the return of reigning NFL MVP Mahomes from injury.

“It’s fun to win a game like that – battle back in the fourth quarter at home and find a way to win is a ton of fun,” Tannehill said.

The Titans (5-5) only had a chance after a bad snap by the Chiefs on Harrison Butker’s fifth field-goal attempt of the day. Kansas City coach Andy Reid blamed communication for the snap surprising holder Dustin Colquitt, who threw the ball away in desperation for an intentional grounding call, setting the Titans up at their 39.
