On Sunday afternoon, the Kansas City Chiefs lost a heartbreaker in a shootout against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. Kansas City got off to a great start with an early lead, answering whenever the Bengals scored. But in the second half, the offense sputtered, and the defense watched a rookie receiver run up and down the field. In the end, the Bengals were able to milk the fourth quarter with a drive that never ended, keeping Patrick Mahomes watching helplessly from the sidelines.
Likely gone are the number one seed and the first-round bye, pending the results of next week’s games.
