Ja'Marr Chase explodes as Bengals win shootout over Chiefs to secure AFC North

The Kansas City Chiefs threatened to run away with Sunday's AFC showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase had other ideas. The Bengals rallied back from a 14-0 first-quarter deficit to secure a 34-31 win in a wild shootout to clinch the AFC North. They did so behind a huge effort from their dynamic passing duo that saw Chase secure 11 catches for a team-record 266 yards and three touchdowns.

The Bengals win marked a setback for Kansas City's quest for the No. 1 seed in the AFC and sets up a potential playoff rematch between the dueling explosive offenses.
