The Kansas City Chiefs are set to host their fifth-straight AFC Championship game this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Chiefs survived two scares from the divisional round against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. The first being quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ high ankle sprain, and the second was the Jaguars themselves, who played valiantly. K.C. is 2-2 in its last four AFC Championship Game matchups.
The Bengals are perhaps the hottest team left in the playoffs, winners of their last 10 games. That includes a 27-24 Week 13 victory over the Chiefs. Cincinnati has beaten K.C. three times in the last calendar year, including in last year’s AFC Championship game.
