Who did Tennessee beat in the 2017-18 NFL Wild Card Playoff game?

The story behind the answer

Tennessee beat Kansas City in the 2017–18 NFL Wild Card Playoff game. The Titans defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 22–21 on January 6, 2018, at Arrowhead Stadium.

Kansas City appeared firmly in control after building an 18-point halftime lead. The Chiefs scored early through Kareem Hunt and Travis Kelce, while quarterback Alex Smith moved the offense effectively. Tennessee changed the game after halftime, using a more aggressive passing attack and steady work from its running game.

Marcus Mariota helped lead the comeback, and Derrick Henry supplied important rushing yards as Tennessee scored 19 unanswered points in the second half. The victory was the Titans’ first playoff win since the 2003 season. The result is sometimes remembered as an upset because Kansas City had home-field advantage and led comfortably at halftime, but Tennessee’s defense and second-half offense turned the game around.
