AFC Championship - (2)Kansas City Chiefs vs. (4)Cincinnati Bengals

[jasontoddwhitt]

Watching the national media talking heads, it’s like they forgot the Bengals beat the Chiefs just a month ago.

The Bengals can totally win this game. They held that Chiefs offense to 3 points in the second half when they met in the regular season.

I think it will be a very good game Sunday.

Cincy knows how to beat the Chiefs. Sure, it was about a month ago, but the Chiefs have to prove they can beat them. Burrow lit them up for 446 and 4 td's, while Mahomes was held under 300. Score was close no doubt, but thats a formula they can repeat to win this game.

On behalf of Broncos Country, Go Cincy!

The presumption is probably the Chiefs aren't going to be expected to have to also beat the other team in stripes on the field this time. They didn't play a perfect game, but this was one of those games with a number of bad calls, think the Bengals got 6 first downs via penalty.

Yes, because the officials threw for 446 and 4 TDs.

NFL officiating is horrible. This isn’t news.

Yeah, all that offense and they won by... 3. Again, 6? first downs via penalty, clear and objectively bad penalties, capped off by a bad call on the 1 yard line granting a new set of downs allowing them to run the clock all the way out and kick the game winning field goal. Good teams can overcome bad calls, but really no opportunity to in that situation.

So yeah, in that context, presumably the Chiefs won't have to overcome so many bad calls, and are at home, which is why they're the favorite by more than a touchdown. I agree though, the Bengals can absolutely win this game.

They earned the win last game. Good teams take advantage of their opportunities, and one of the first thing out of Burrow's mouth after: “...We got a little lucky at the end. We got some calls, but sometimes you gotta get a little lucky,”

His statement applies to all 4 teams still playing.
