Five Quick Facts Following the Chiefs Week 16 Loss to Tennessee

2. Quarterback Chris Oladokin completed the first regular-season pass of his career.

Oladokun, who entered the game early in the second quarter in relief of the injured Gardner Minshew, completed the first regular-season pass of his career when he found tight end Travis Kelce for a 6-yard gain.

Oladokun went on to complete 11-of-16 passes for 11 yards in the game, leading Kansas City into Titans’ territory on each of his first four drives.

The 28-year-old quarterback has spent the last four seasons with Kansas City, largely as a member of the practice squad. Sunday’s action marked the second regular-season game of his career.

“You always walk through when your first moment is going to be [in your head], so I’ve really just attacked these last four years, because you never know,” Oladokun said. “Today just happened to be an opportunity for me, and I wanted to take full advantage of it.”

3. The Chiefs lost their fourth consecutive game on Sunday.

Kansas City dropped its fourth straight game on Sunday, marking the Chiefs’ longest losing streak since the 2017 season. It was Kansas City’s ninth loss of the year, ensuring the Chiefs’ first losing season since 2012.

“Nobody likes to lose in this business,” said Head Coach Andy Reid. “We can learn from it, and we need to do that going forward. Sometimes, a good kick in the tail helps you.”
