Keys to the game
Defense
-Pass rush contain
- Hendrickson and Ossai have to exploit their matchups against the offensive tackles.
- Hill has to cover Kelce 1 on 1 on 3rd downs.
Offense
- get the Ball to Chase
- 12 personal with All and Gieskie
- throw the ball on first and second downs. Get into 3rd and manageable!
KC 34 Bengals 31
I have no confidence in the defense containing Mahomes but I think Chase and Joe have special games.

That said, I think the Chiefs are winning this by a touchdown or more.
Ok, the lightning in a bottle thing. They were lucky. As Pratt was the hero for stripping the ball from Swifty/Kelce that game here last year or the year before and the stadium and fans were screaming Who-Dey, the Chiefs went on to win the SB the same year, so Swifty got the last laugh, and, they repeated last year too, so we did get lucky and now are not in their class in my opinion. They / Mahomes is 3-4 wins in SB in 6 years. We have won 3 games with the Chiefs in what 4 years and stalled out.
Nothing more I'd like to see than Burrow and these "new" Bengals dominate them and win a fricking SB. They march on and win while we had 1.5 good years and have kind of run out of steam.

After taking off to a quick lead Mahommes gets sandwiched on a sack between 2 defenders and gets knocked out of the game. We take the lead late in the game just in time for Mahommes to return and with some help from terrible calls by the refs they pull out the win. Bengals fans go from super pumped to "we're the worst team in football" in a few short minutes. Final score 24-21.
I thought about saying he'd be done for the season but then a more Bengal way came to me.

Ossai had a huge part in the loss with his senseless late hit. I don’t know why he’s still on the team.

The University of Kentucky football team looked like hot garbage the first 2 weeks of the season. Yesterday they played fantastically vs #1 Georgia, they ran out of time losing 13-12. The Chiefs do not have nearly as massive a talent disparity vs Cincy as UGA did last night. I still do not see a win but I am hopeful we can give them a tough fight.

Ossai had his best game that night. This is silly.

Probably so and if they get blown-out like that they need some serious changes made to players, coaches and ideas and schemes. I think Zac has job security here unless he has 3 or so 1-16 seasons. You know how Mike Brown has patience with head coaches.

MoneyMac earns his pay today with a long FG for the win as time runs out.
Didn't think I was going to pick KC did you?

Don't think it will be that lopsided but still a loss. If they lose but give them a tough game everybody will say they are headed to the SB. My gut feel is that their SB window slammed shut after the Rams slammed it, locked it and broke the lock lever off and the Bengals can't figure out how to unlock that window.
