Here's the thing:

The Bengals are going into this game having beaten them twice in a row...the expectation is that the Chiefs will not lose to the same team 3 times in a row. So, essentially, there is no pressure on the Bengals to win this game, especially after winning in Tennessee yesterday.

So the fans are definitely going to be much more guarded and defensive because they know if they lose this game, the media narrative will be that Patrick Mahomes cleans Joe Burrow's jockstrap for him each night. We'd essentially be the owners of the Chiefs until we meet them again, perhaps in the playoffs.

So all the Bengals need to do for this to be a successful week is to appear competent vs the Chiefs. Don't get blown out.

And if they win? Holy shit, the alarms in every Chiefs fan's head will be ringing so loudly they won't even be able to sleep that night, and we'd be the toast of the NFL town for the remainder of the season.

It's a really nice position to be in.
