Mind you KC if Mahomes is on fire it even Allen we could lose. The AFC is like the late 60’s when the NL had Koufax, Gibson, and Juan Marchial. If one of those pitchers got hot good ____ing luck today boys. Burrow, Mahomes, and Allen are the same.
The way I see it is the AFC is run by 3 teams right now; KC/BUF/CIN. If those three play towards their best, they beat the others. When they play each other, I think the games aren't far off coin flip territory. I know we've beat KC 3 in a row, and not to take a shine off any of them as they were all great gut it out wins, but they were also games which could've gone either way if we're being honest about it.
If Mahomes/Allen are on fire, they're tough to hang with. But if Burrow is on his game, he at least hangs with them. I'd rather have Burrow than either, but there's no doubt they're all very closely matched QBs.
I like our chances against anybody. If we turn up, we're in any game. I'm just glad the Bengals are now in this conversation.
Regarding Lamar... he could be back for the playoffs, and it's quite likely we play them in the Divisional. I'm not too concerned about that, as we seem to do a good job of neutralising his running ability recently. If we limit his ground game, we're well placed.
