Last year the Bengals stunned the football world by making the Super Bowl. And to get there, Cincinnati stunned the Chiefs at Kansas City in the AFC championship game. The Chiefs were a huge NFL betting odds favorite. In turn, KC had the game under control. But a self-inflicted implosion on their goal-line offense at the end of the first half changed everything. Kansas City blew the chance to make a third consecutive Super Bowl. Now they are fighting to redeem themselves. The Chiefs remain a wing-it team that relies on the improv of quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
