The Chiefs defeat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 to advance to their 3rd Super Bowl in 5 years!
The Bengals would start the game with the ball but would be forced to punt. KC we get the scoring started with a Butker field goal. After another Cincy punt, the Chiefs would get another FG to go up 6-0. The Bengals would answer with a field goal. The Chiefs would finally find the end zone when Patrick Mahomes hit Travis Kelce for a 14-yard TD. Burrow would then be picked off on the next drive but the Chiefs couldn’t do anything. This allowed Cincy to get an FG before the half. The score at half was 13-6 Chiefs.
The Chiefs would get the ball to start the second half but went 3-and-out. This gave Cincy the ball back and they were able to tie the game at 13. The Chiefs would answer to regain the lead when Mahomes hit MVS for a 19-yard TD. The Chiefs’ defense would force a punt but a sloppy play by Mahomes would fumble and give Cincy the ball back. The Bengals would capitalize and score another touchdown to tie it again. KC would have to punt yet again but another Burrow interception would give KC the ball back. However, they couldn’t do anything and had to punt. The Chiefs’ defense would step up and force a Bengal punt. The Chiefs would then drive into field goal range thanks to Patrick Mahomes and a late hit out of bounds. Harrison Butker would barely squeak the kick in the uprights. Cincy would try laterals on the kickoff but failed and during that time expired! The Chiefs beat the Bengals 23-20 and punch their ticket to Arizona!!!
