Set to GO BIG!!!

Everything points to Chris Johnson having a big game on Sunday. The Chiefs are in a "rebuilding year" but can never be counted out. To many teams have proved that, especially last week. We saw losing teams beat 3 teams in the undisputed, strongest division in football, the NFC East. Coach Fisher is not taking this team lightly.
“It’s a much younger team,” Fisher said. “There’s 17 rookies on the roster (actually 16) and I think there’s 26 players on the roster with two years or less of experience (actually 25.) They’re just getting better and better. Coach Edwards was upfront about their plan. They had to rebuild and were going to take their lumps and they’ve won a ball game against a very good team. Four of the five teams they’ve played this year have winning records and we can’t say that for ourselves. And they beat a team with a winning record. You can make all you want about our records right now but this is going to be a tough ball game.”

Any team can beat any team in the NFL on any Sunday. But... not this Sunday. The Chiefs cannot stop the run and with deactivation of Johnson from their roster, the Titans opponent has just lost the player with 3 of the 7 touchdowns his team has scored all year. I am also a little bias in that Chris Johnson is on my fantasy team and I need him to have a big game to keep my win streak going.
