The Chiefs had to completely shit themselves for the Bengals to win, though. I don’t think you’ll ever see them collapse like that in a playoff game again after what we’ve seen the past two years, at least not with this current core of guys.
They’ve gone up against all odds the past two seasons and just flipped the freaking switch come playoff time and go into God mode, especially Mahomes. The whole team just feeds off his energy and intensity and does the same. On top of that, there is just so much young talent that has already done and seen it all, the lights will never be too bright for them.
That’s not to say the Bengals couldn’t steal the AFC this year, anything can happen. However, they’ve already kind of missed their window with this current group. The Chiefs roster is much stronger than the team the Bengals beat in the playoffs, and theirs is nowhere close to as good. Mahomes is better and has gained 1000 experience points since then. Plus, we have Andy and Steve. I’m taking us nine times out of ten.
