![]() ![]() Zak Taylor's men played a complete game on their way to felling pre-season Super Bowl favourites Buffalo, restricting the Bills offense to its lowest points tally of the season while combining for over 100 ground yards and two passing touchdowns on offense.ĭespite running back Joe Mixon's success in the Divisional Round, the Bengals may look to lean on their trio of superstar wide receivers against a Kansas City defense that has given up more passing touchdowns than any other this season.Ī large factor in Kansas' ability to counteract Cincinnati's potent air attack will be the play of Chris Jones, who finished the regular season with 26 more pass rush wins than any other defensive tackle.Īlong with Frank Clark and the rest of the Chiefs' defensive line, Jones will look to take advantage of a banged-up Bengals o-line that ranked 31st in pass block win rate going into last week's games. Last year's Super Bowl runners-up have now lost just one of their previous 13 games. The Bengals were able to escape their Divisional Round match-up relatively unscathed, cruising to a 27-10 victory over the Buffalo Bills in the snow at Orchard Park. Mahomes left last week's game to receive X-rays but was able to return after one drive, albeit with reduced mobility.ĭespite clear discomfort and a lack of ability to manoeuvre around the pocket, Mahomes was able to find tight-end Travis Kelce consistently en route to a second-half statline of 22-of-30 for 195 yards and two touchdowns. MVP-bound Patrick Mahomes is expected to start after suffering a high ankle sprain in the Chiefs' 27-20 Divisional Round victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Having also beaten them in each of the past two regular seasons, the Bengals are 3-0 against the Chiefs since drafting quarterback Burrow in 2020. Sunday's match-up (start time 11.30pm UK time) is a replay of last year's title game, which the Joe Burrow-led Bengals took 27-24 in an overtime thriller. ![]()
