They had a couple opportunities to take the lead in the 4th and just couldn't get it done. They came up short at the end of the day, but beating a team like the Chiefs 4 times in a row, and twice in a row in their house in the AFCCG is a tough task. I personally think the Bengals are every bit as good as the Chiefs. When you have 2 great teams going against other so often (4 times in just over a year)...you're not going to win them all.
Everything they do this offseason needs to be geared towards getting the #1 seed next season.
All the more reason not to make it harder on yourself.
And guess what. We're scheduled to play the Chiefs in "Burrowhead" for the next two years. Possibly three if we land in the same division slots in 2024. The only way we'll get them at home before 2026 is if we have a higher seed and meet them in the playoffs.
