Description
Another matchup between the Bengals and the Chiefs, another AFC Championship matchup.
Surprisingly or unsurprisingly, depending on who you ask, the Bengals are back in the AFC Championship game and they're doing battle with the same Chiefs team they faced last season. And they're heading back to Arrowhead Stadium.
This Sunday's tilt will be the fourth meeting between these two foes in just the last two years. Kansas City came to Cincinnati back in December and the Bengals defeated the Chiefs, 27-24, the same score as last year's overtime victory.
Since beating the Bengals in Kansas City back in 2018, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has never defeated them nor quarterback Joe Burrow. Burrow has five playoff wins in his short but storied career and has a chance to win his second one against Mahomes.
Asking the Burrow and the Bengals to defeat Mahomes on his own turf is a tall, tall task. Kansas City has only lost at home once this season, but their only home loss in 2021 came when the Bengals came to town and upset the Chiefs to win the AFC Championship.
The Bengals will have unfinished business to resolve from last year's Super Bowl loss to the Rams, but in order to get back to the big stage, they have to get past Mahomes, who will be playing this weekend despite rolling his ankle in a divisional round win over Jacksonville.
That has oddsmakers placing the Bengals as 1-point favorites. Will they be able to back that up in Kansas City with Arrowhead's raucous, loud, if not the loudest, crowd for any opposing NFL team?
The Strictly Stripes crew explains why the Bengals have garnered attention as of late following their statement divisional victory over Buffalo on the road last weekend. Why should other teams give praise for the Bengals coaching staff led by head coach Zac Taylor? They answer and explain how and why.
This podcast features Mohammad Ahmad, Andrew Gillis and Michael Niziolek.
