Actually, you both are correct. Yes, the Chiefs were driving down the field after the Bengals scored a TD to take the lead (27-24). Kelce fumbles. The Bengals then march back down the field. It was at the 2 minute warning in the 4th QTR and Chiefs are out of timeouts. Bengals are facing a 3rd down at the KC 14 yard line. If they run the ball, they can take time off the clock, kick a FG and make the Chiefs have to get a TD to win the game. The Bengals pass it and Burrow throws a perfect pass to Higgins for the first down and the Bengals kneel the ball to win the game.
Thus, the Bengals could've tried for a TD (they clearly passed on 3rd so it could've been attempted) or gotten a FG. So they left, at minimum 3 points on the field by kneeling, but yes, the game WAS as close as the score indicated.
