It’s yet another date between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs, this time in the AFC title game.
In a rivalry that is quickly starting to feel like a divisional one, complete with “Burrowhead” trash talk and bulletin-board comments from Chiefs defenders, Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes once again take center stage.
Yet in this one, Mahomes enters with an ankle injury suffered in the divisional round and Burrow enters with a 3-0 mark in prior matchups so far.
While much of this game will hinge on lessons learned from those past encounters, the sprinkles of innovation and adaptation and a few x-factors will decide which team goes to the Super Bowl.
