The Tennessee Titans delivered a dominant win over the Kansas City Chiefs, 27-3, to improve to 5-2 on the season. They have now beaten two talented teams in a row, having beaten the Buffalo Bills last week.

The Titans have flipped the script from their slow start and seized total control of the AFC South.

They were dominant in every aspect of the game, especially defensively. The Kansas City Chiefs have elite offensive talent, but the Titans defense was able to hold them to three points.

Here are three Titans takeaways from their dominant Week 7 victory over the Chiefs.

3. The defense is improving

After an outstanding defensive performance, the Titans defense is putting it all together. Last week, they made a key stop at the end of the game against the Bills, which propelled them to victory. Heading into the season, the defense was expected to be the weak part of the team.

While the defense was inconsistent to start the season, they have gained momentum over the last two weeks. They forced three turnovers against the Chiefs. The Titans defense was also able to pressure Patrick Mahomes, getting four sacks.

If the defense can continue to improve, the Titans will be a tough out in the playoffs.

2. The offense is nearly unstoppable

The Titans are super talented offensively and have put it all together over the last two weeks. They have the best running back in the league in Derrick Henry, who has the ability to take over any game. Tennessee also has a strong passing attack with star wide receivers A.J. Brown and Julio Jones.

On the season, Henry has rushed for 783 yards and ten touchdowns (Pro Football Reference). He is a powerful back that is a nightmare for defenses to tackle. When Henry gets going, defenses start to stack the box, which leads to the play-action game opening up.

A.J. Brown took advantage of this against the Chiefs catching eight passes for 133 yards and a touchdown (Pro Football Reference). This offense has so many dynamics to it, making it almost unstoppable for defenses.

1. Titans are a contender

After the Titans lost to the New York Jets, they were counted out by many people. They have now defeated two great teams, showcasing that they are a contender in the AFC. They have all the talent they need to make a Super Bowl run, and it now comes down to building chemistry.

They have a great head coach in Mike Vrabel, and the Titans looked destined to have a deep playoff run. They have a somewhat easy schedule moving forward, which could help them finish with a top seed in the AFC. The biggest contender in the AFC for them is the Bills, whom they have already beaten.

Both of these teams have elite talent, and they could meet in the playoffs. The Titans defense needs to keep improving as the offense is already at a high level.

Look for the Titans to continue having success and be a contender for the Super Bowl. They now move on to their next week's opponent, the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts currently sit at 2-4 and are second in the division behind Tennessee. A win against the Colts would secure a huge lead in the division.
