The Cincinnati Bengals enter Week 17 against the Kansas City Chiefs with a chance to win the AFC North and control their playoff destiny.
One week removed from besting Baltimore in 41-21 fashion though, the task won’t be so simple. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs haven’t lost a game since the start of November and boast the expected high-flying offense.
Still, it feels like the Bengals are rounding into form at just the right time after two consecutive wins.
Before they can start thinking about that road date against the Browns to close the season and eyeballing potential playoff matchups, they have to host the team that might just be the best in the AFC.
