Week 7, Oct. 21, the 4-1 Bengals and 5-0 Chiefs are being flexed to Sunday night, per source. Rams-49ers, which was scheduled for that night, will be moved to 4:25 pm. So it’ll be two straight Sunday night games for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Bengals lone SNF appearance.

Exactly. The goal is the Super Bowl, people. Your team has to be able to play tough teams in prime time.
Why would you want our team to only be able to fly under the radar and win the 1:00 Sunday games? SB worthy teams aren't scared of the spotlight. They get the job done, regardless of when the game is played.

Not to mention that the Super Bowl is played under the lights.
We don't want to be the team that is deer-lighted.
or get a reaction like this when given prime-time:

By the way, this is IMO the toughest game of the year for us, right next to the Saints game.
But, if we win, this will be my favorite part: You KNOW that the announcers and the media are going to be drooling all over the Chiefs. They will immediately doubt the Bengals, and probably expect a beatdown. You win these games, when everyone is doubting you? And to beat this high-powered offense?
Man, the media will be talking about us for days after that. And the team knows that, so I can't wait. Regardless of what happens against the Steelers, Bengals have to be at their best against this Chiefs team. Chew up a lot of clock, and hit Mahomes.

Exactly lol. Seems like many on this board are scared of the challenge. How do you expect to compete if your scared of playing really good teams when the world is watching?
We can't keep saying stuff like "this team is special" if you are scared of the teams we play the next two weeks. Face the challenge and see where you're at.
To be considered the best, you have to beat the best in the toughest environments. History isn't on our side but that's okay. If we want to change the narrative, this is a great opportunity to start with.
If we go into Arrowhead during primetime and come out with a W, I won't deny it anymore. The team is for real and the new coaches have established a new culture and killer instinct. When was the last season the Bengals had a record above .500 in primetime?
Nah but really if we want to have any hope of making it to that AFC Championship game, and the Super Bowl, then we have to do well in this game. Hopefully this game is for the #1 spot in the AFC and 2 6-1 teams leave that stadium. Who Dey!
