This coming Sunday I will be in Wilmington at my sister's watching the game on their living room TV as I did the first Baltimore blowout in October. Also, in high school I lived in the KC area, in Overland Park, and my sister still lives in Johnson County, KS. The Chiefs are my second-favorite team and I was happy they won the Super Bowl against the 49ers no less.
But of course I want the Bengals to win this coming Sunday. If Travis Kelce is back, the Chiefs will try a bunch of those middle throws to him because they have to have seen big tight ends chew up the Bengals before. Otherwise, Patrick Mahomes will try a few deep throws and specialty running plays with Tyreek Hill, Pringle, and Robinson.
Most of the Chiefs fanbase comes from Johnson County, KS because the people on the Missouri side are mostly too poor to have season tickets or even go to individual games. As with every large American city, KC has gone through changes over the decades. The high school I attended, Shawnee Mission South, was white bread WASP and across I-435 there was nothing but farmland for miles. Now, it's nothing but suburban sprawl and the area is way more diverse. When my niece was getting ready for high school I asked if she was going to South. She wrinkled her nose in disgust and said, "Hell no! They have gangs there."
Are the Chiefs beatable? Yes. Can the Bengals do it? Yes. We'll see.
