97.1 The Ticket -- Say what you will about the Titans' ground-and-pound offensive approach they've put on display throughout the playoffs.
It's working.
The Titans held an early 10-0 lead over the Chiefs in Sunday's AFC Championship Game before Kansas City put its speed on display to pull within a field goal late in the first quarter.
Then the Titans bled more than nine minutes off the clock with a 15-play drive that saw Henry carry the rock six times for 36 yards, before it was capped off with a lineman catch a touchdown pass.
Dennis Kelly (321 lbs.) became the heaviest player in NFL history to catch a touchdown in the playoffs when the Titans ran a play action to Henry and Ryan Tannehill dumped it off to Kelly to take a 17-7 lead.

January 19, 2020 Though he's the heaviest player to catch a touchdown, Kelly's not the heaviest man to score in a playoff game -- that title belongs to Chicago's William "The Fridge" Perry, who had a ruching TD in Super Bowl XX.
The Chiefs answered on the ensuing possession, going 63 yards in just five plays to pull back within a field goal in what is shaping up to be another exciting playoff game.
