I'm worried that KC will be hungry for a win. The Bengals need to be hungrier. Go Bengals! The game is on CBS.

Rapoport is reporting the Chiefs are dumbing down the offense
Quote:Mired in a rare offensive slump, the Kansas City Chiefs pared things down this week to try to get Patrick Mahomes and company humming again.
Sources say the Chiefs whittled down their normal game plan from head coach Andy Reid's massive playbook for today's game against the Bengals, which means fewer plays, fewer personnel packages and, most likely, fewer players getting their hands on the football.
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.

I call BS. Just like Kermit's ankle last year was an "issue". Watch them pull out all the stops and maybe include a few funky formations as well.

Evening boys,
21:30 kick off over here so midnight will hit while the games on hopefully seeing the new year in in the best way.
Even if the playoffs weren’t in the line I’d want to beat these cheating entitled bastards.

Go Bengals! Big time game, let's show up this week after your vacation last weekend!
Chiefs rush defense has not been very good this season (24th ranked). Here's to hoping Bengals focus/feed the running game this week on Offense and not a bunch of shotgun and side throw screens.

The last thing the Chiefs want is to struggle against this defense. That would hit them in the pride big time.

Maybe this is an omen of good things for both Brown twins. Sydney just got a 99 yard pick 6 for the Eagles. Now Chase has to keep up with his brother

If Lou dials up the heat and pressures Patrick Mahomes every time he drops back the Bengals will win. This game is going to hinge on the efficacy of the Cincinnati defense.

Agreed. It doesn’t help us that we don’t have Flowers to shut down Kelce and that Pacheco IS playing.
Hope Browning has his best game. We’re gonna need it.

…and Mixon too. We don’t want to be one-dimensional against the Chiefs.

Yeah, and the Chiefs have struggled against the run this season.

Nice thing is we're playing with house money and have been since the injury. If we win GREAT! If we don't then we move on to offseason and hopefully the team makes the moves needed to prevent this kind of season ever happening again.
