Problem: The Broncos traveled to Arrowhead Stadium for an AFC West rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs.  This was a historic game as NFL Network began their season with a 3rd NFL game on Thanksgiving.  In the 1960s, Kansas City hosted three Thanksgiving Day games.  For this battle, QB Jake "The Snake" Plummer was fighting for his starting job. In the first quarter, the Broncos trailed early as K.C.'s Lawrence Tynes kicked a 24-yard field goal for the only score of the period.  In the second quarter, Denver's defensive problem continued as RB Larry Johnson got a 1-yard TD run.  The Broncos would finally score as kicker Jason Elam nailed a 31-yard field goal.  In the third quarter, Tynes helped the Chiefs get a 34-yard field goal, while Plummer completed a 1-yard TD pass to TE Stephen Alexander.  In the fourth quarter, Tynes gave Kansas City a 29-yard and a 21-yard field goal.  The Broncos tried to respond, but K.C.'s improved defense stopped any hope of a comeback.  With the loss, Denver fell to 7-4.

Problem: Trying to build on their road win over the Eagles, the Titans went home for a Week 12 fight with the New York Giants.  In the first quarter, Tennessee trailed early as QB Eli Manning completed a 3-yard TD pass to WR Plaxico Burress for the only score of the period.  In the second quarter, Giants RB Brandon Jacobs got a 10-yard and 4-yard TD run to give the Giants a seemingly comfy 21-0 halftime.  After a scoreless third quarter, the Titans' improbable comeback began in the fourth quarter with 10 minutes remaining.  QB Vince Young completed a TD pass to TE Bo Scaife.  Afterwards, Young would follow it up with a 1-yard TD run.  The key play of the game came on a 4th and 10 from Tennessee's 24-yard line, when Giants DE Mathias Kiwanuka actually had Young in his grasp, but he let go because he was afraid that he would get a Roughing the Passer penalty.  It allowed Young to dash away for the first down.  Four plays later, he would complete a 14-yard TD pass to WR Brandon Jones.  Afterwards, after Manning got intercepted by CB Pacman Jones (who intercepted Manning earlier in the game), it would lead to the game-winning field goal, as kicker Rob Bironas nailed it from 49 yards out.  With the win, the Titans improved to 4-7.

Who had the shortest touchdown run?
Answer:
Vince Young
