It's not probable that the Bengals win, but we've seen the Bengals beat some teams this year that we didn't think was going to happen, so it's still possible.
They have the offense to get back into games.
The defense will likely have to get some turnovers though to give the Bengals a shot.

If the Bengals can beat KC, it will change my opinion that the Bengals are playoff-cusp team to a true contender.

It's not going to be easy that's for sure. The D has it's work cut out for them and they need to play a full 60 minutes. With Mahomes, the plays never over until the whistle. Then you got Kelce and a decent receiving corp. We are going to have to be dialed in on offense too because it's going be like a boxing match and we have to be ready to exchange blow for blow.
