The Kansas City Chiefs suffered a beating at the hands of the Tennessee Titans in Week 7, but head coach Andy Reid is not making a big deal out of it.

On the contrary, Reid saw some positives from the way they played against the Titans. Of course he's not satisfied with the way they responded to Tennessee's game plan, but he liked that his players did not give up despite being already behind 27-0 at halftime.

“That was one thing I thought was good,” Reid said after the loss, per SB Nation. “You see a lot of teams just tank in the second half. I didn't see that. I saw guys busting their tails to get the job done. We were off. And you're playing a good football team; you cannot be off. That's the bottom line. We have to figure out a way to do that. That's what we've done in the past. We've been able to do that, and so we've got to keep urgency up in practice and the right frame of mind when we're playing the game to get that done. That, again, comes back to what you've got [in] coaches and what you've got in the locker room. But that urgency's got to be there.”

Indeed, the Chiefs can hold their heads high despite the defeat. They tried hard to get back into the game, knowing a comeback wasn't impossible. Unfortunately, the Titans defense was just too much to handle for the struggling squad.

It also didn't help that star quarterback Patrick Mahomes had to exit the game midway through the fourth quarter, which basically killed all the Chiefs' hopes of erasing the 24-point gap at that point.

The Chiefs play the New York Giants in Week 8, and Andy Reid is certainly hoping his team will show the same fight they had against the Titans.
