We were living in the KC area from '72 to '75 and then moved to Cincinnati 7/75, right before my senior year because my dad got transferred (yeah, it sucked). My older sister, bro-in-law, niece, nephew, and my beautiful great niece and great nephew still live there. Last year for the conference championship I went to BWs with my Bengal gear on and was outnumbered by Chief's fans. When St. Louis lost the Rams, apparently people went over to the other Missouri team and their fans extend to way down in southern Illinois even though Nashville and Indianapolis are much closer.
Anyway, for the first game last year, the Bengals may have benefited from the Chiefs overlooking them because they already had the division locked up. And the second game was a second-half ambush though the game turned when the Chiefs failed to score at the end of the first half. This year, Ja'Marr will have a target on his back. It should be so much fun.
The Chiefs are a national team now due to Mahomes. Every Chiefs game is on national tv. Chiefs fans are actually happy when we play a Denver where no one wants to see embaRUSS. Refs tend to keep the national games close for excitement.
Enjoy the limelight the Chiefs bring to your team. [emoji106]
