Kansas City Chiefs vs Tennessee Titans Match Player Stats (Dec 21, 2025)

Cam Ward completed 21 of 28 passes for 228 yards and two touchdowns as the Tennessee Titans defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 26-9 at Nissan Stadium on December 21, 2025, snapping an 11-game home losing streak that matched the worst the franchise had endured since relocating to Tennessee in 1997.

Tony Pollard ran for 102 yards on 21 carries, reaching 100 rushing yards in three consecutive games for the first time in his career. Tennessee outgained Kansas City 376 to 133 in total yards, controlled possession for 38 minutes and one second, and converted nine of 17 third downs. The Chiefs managed one conversion in nine third-down attempts.

Kansas City entered the game without Patrick Mahomes, who had torn his ACL the prior week against the Los Angeles Chargers. Gardner Minshew made his first start of the 2025 season but was knocked out with a knee injury early in the second quarter. Chris Oladokun, added to the active roster from the practice squad days before kickoff and playing in only his second career game, took over and finished 11 of 16 for 111 yards while absorbing four sacks. The defeat confirmed Kansas City’s first losing record since 2012, the franchise’s last season without Andy Reid as head coach.

Ward’s performance in this game pushed him past Marcus Mariota’s franchise record for passing yards by a rookie in a single season. He did it against a Kansas City defense that had ranked eighth in the NFL in yards allowed entering Week 16, completing 75 percent of his throws, posting a 122.3 passer rating, and throwing two touchdown passes for the third game in a row. With Pollard providing 100-plus rushing yards on the ground for the third consecutive week, Tennessee closed the 2025 regular season with a clearer sense of what the offense could build around going into 2026.

For Kansas City, the final two weeks of the year played out against a backdrop of mounting injuries and a confirmed losing record. A 6-9 mark with two games remaining meant the franchise’s first sub-.500 season in 13 years, a span that covered every season since Andy Reid arrived as head coach in 2013. The Chiefs closed out 2025 having lost four of their last five games, with both Mahomes and Minshew hurt, and Oladokun left to hold the offense together through the season’s final weeks.
