Derrick Henry, Tyreek Hill trade touchdowns as Titans lead AFC title game

By Adam Zielonka - The Washington Times - Sunday, January 19, 2020

The Tennessee Titans are one more upset away from doing the improbable: reaching the Super Bowl as a No. 6 seed.

They’re out in front at the end of the first quarter of the AFC Championship Game, 10-7 over the Kansas City Chiefs, as Derrick Henry and Tyreek Hill were responsible for the touchdowns so far.

After the Titans took a 3-0 lead and the Chiefs had to punt on their first possession, Henry was first to find the end zone on a direct snap to the running back. A week earlier he took a goal-line direct snap and threw a jump pass to Corey Davis to surprise the Baltimore Ravens; this week, he decided to run the three yards himself.

But in response, Pat Mahomes engineered a long drive, converted on a fourth and 2 and later shoveled the ball forward to Hill on a jet sweep for what went down as an 8-yard touchdown pass.
