The Kansas City Chiefs went into the locker room at halftime of January’s eventual playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans up 21-3, having allowed just 52 rushing yards to Derrick Henry.
Everyone knows how the story ends. In the second half, the Titans offense had their way with the Chiefs defense, and they rallied for an improbable 22-21 comeback. Henry finished with 156 yards on the ground.
Inside linebacker Reggie Ragland opened up about the loss and the lack of run defense after the Chiefs’ ninth OTAs practice Thursday.
“I feel like that was bad on my part because as a leader, I have to get everybody going, and we got to stop that run,” Ragland, who led the team with nine combined tackles in that losing effort, said.
