Kansas City Chiefs vs Cincinnati Bengals Preview

Just like it was at the end of the 2021 NFL season, Kansas City will host Cincinnati for the Lamar Hunt Trophy.

Remarkably, it will be the fifth straight AFC Championship Game at Arrowhead Stadium, however it may be the first time the Chiefs will go into a game like this as an underdog.

That comes down to the fact nobody knows exactly what to expect from Patrick Mahomes and the most closely watched ankle in the NFL since Rob Gronkowski before Super Bowl XLVI.

Common sense dictates that when a 150kg person falls on your leg, it is going to hurt for more than a couple of days, which will limit Mahomes’ effectiveness in this game.

His entire career has been highlighted by a bunch of plays when he escapes the pocket, dodges a couple of would be tacklers and flings the ball 50 yards to a pass catcher only he knew would be open.

Against Jacksonville he could not push off that ankle after it was injured and if there is any limitations here, the Cincinnati pass rush can cause plenty of problems for him.

That’s why the Bengals have shifted into favouritism and that’s why they are going to be the opening play for the AFC Championship Game.

In three career games against the Chiefs, Joe Burrow has averaged 327 yards per game and almost three touchdown passes as well.

To do that, he has relied on his favourite target Ja’Marr Chase and we’ll combine the two for a Same Game Multi.

However, it won’t all come down to Burrow, the Bengals will need to find a way to stay balanced and Joe Mixon will be a big reason they keep the ball away from Mahomes and company.

He is coming off a very productive day against Buffalo and we are going to back him to keep his momentum going against a Chiefs defence that is not the most effective against the run.

But this won’t all be one way traffic, with Travis Kelce seemingly an unstoppable force no matter who is throwing him the ball.

After his mammoth effort to drag the Chiefs home against the Jaguars, we have to also have a little play on him to produce against the Bengals.
