The Kansas City Chiefs suffered their ninth loss of the season on Sunday when they fell to the Tennessee Titans, 26-9.
The Chiefs‘ offense continues to struggle as the season winds down, made worse by the loss of second-string quarterback Gardner Minshew on the third play of Sunday’s game. Former practice squad quarterback Chris Oladokun made a valiant attempt to will Kansas City to victory, but was ultimately unsuccessful.
Despite allowing 26 points, the Chiefs’ defense put forth a surprisingly good performance against the Titans. Linebacker Jack Cochrane had a breakout game and was appropriately recognized for his efforts by Pro Football Focus.
The experts at PFF gave Cochrane a grade of 74.4, which topped the list of Kansas City’s players in Week 16.

Cochrane has primarily been a role player during his time in Kansas City, but the up-and-coming linebacker is more than capable of stepping up when called upon.
The former South Dakota Coyote should be rewarded with more playing time this week when the Chiefs take on the Denver Broncos on Christmas Day.
