The Bengals have their own quarterback who makes everything right in Burrow, who continues to make plays behind an abysmal offensive line. Now, the Bengals head to Kansas City as unlikely AFC Championship Game participants. That is not normal, but the Bengals deserve credit for battling through some offensive woes by forcing turnovers and shutting down the Titans' rushing attack. The Bengals will win if … Joe Burrow can follow Josh Allen's blueprint.Īgainst the Titans, the Bengals allowed nine sacks and countless other pressures, couldn’t run the ball, stalled out in the high red zone a bunch and scored only 19 points … and they won a road playoff game. Playoff Pat Mahomes has been fantastic, and he will continue to be this weekend. The past two weekends that hasn’t been a concern, with 40-plus points in two straight games against two good defenses. The Chiefs' offense stalled out in the second half against Cincinnati - but only on three possessions. Kansas City can adapt, and the Bengals don’t have much reason to do things differently. Now, Kansas City's performance against Buffalo has me worried because the Chiefs allowed way too many easy yards via blown coverages. The Chiefs could not stop Ja'Marr Chase when he was singled up.Īll of these issues can be corrected with better playcalls. The third-and-27 zero pressure is still an unfathomable call. The Chiefs blitzed way too much, considering that Chris Jones could not be blocked. K.C.'s defensive effort was poor at times against the Bengals. However, this game is within that time frame where it absolutely favors the Chiefs. I wrote about rematches recently, focusing on why they do not matter after four weeks.
