What’s more likely: Joe Burrow lighting up KC defense? | Pro Football Talk | NBC Sports

Monterrio Alexander

Mike says there is value in draft picks, and I’ll say there is value in developing young, relatively unknown talent and building a winning culture!

    Carl Bennett

    Mike such a lawyer lol. And definitely not an accurate evaluator of team dynamics & culture. “Just get the high draft picks!”–dudes a casual.

    KC Crypt Keeper

    In the past 7-8 years the Chiefs have done a fantastic job drafting. Hill, Kelce, Mahomes, Hardman, Jones, CEH, Mitch Morse (now with the Bills) Humphrey, Smith, Sneed, Bolten are just off the top of my head. Our GM’s smell talent and Reid solidifies them.

    David Knigge

    I have heard that half of the NFL players are undrafted.

isaac hicks

Chiefs defense still getting dissed….they’ve been way more consistant than Bengals offense…but hey, keep fanning the fire

    isaac hicks

    @Chef Antonio Wooten I’m a Chiefs fan but I aint got no issue giving credit where its do….Chase was the best player on the field…we still winning the SB, but I learned today that dude is a beast.

    Darth Liberty

    We’ll keep waving that AFC North Champions flag my guy. 🤣

    Darth Liberty

    @isaac hicks you were saying what now? 😂

    ken snyder

    Lol lost

    Sage

    I guess the fire went out

Caleb DesJardins

Not enough people talking about joe burrow being the comeback player of the year

Shofiqul Alom

As a bengals fan i dont what will happen.
We have had good wins but also terrible losses during this season.
If the Bengals want to get to the playoffs or win in it, they will def. need to get over the Chiefs

    Abe McGee

    Rooting for the bengals, but I’ll believe it when I see. Bengals always bungle big games. How many missed field goals against the packers, key fumble and muffed balls against the charger and 9ers.

    Trevor Thompson

    You know what will happen.

    MrCwhitt75

    Here..I’m gonna give ya some nuggets, wanna know what is gonna happen? 1st. Jones,Clark, and Ingram are gonna terrorize Burrow! I see 6 sacks with about 2 forced fumbles! 2nd. Chiefs offense will not punt all day. 3rd. Mahomes will throw for 5 tds and run for 2. 4th. This game will be over before the 4th Quarter! 5th and final nugget…Chiefs win by 28! Welcome to big boy ball Bengals, you just ran into the Best in the AFC! Chiefs win 52-24

    Nicholas

    Good luck to your Bengals, but my Chiefs are looking to secure that #1 seed 💪. I really hope your team makes it to the playoffs though. Mostly cuz I like Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase.

    Shofiqul Alom

    @MrCwhitt75
    this aged well lmaoooooo
    Cincy with the W

Roland Carlos

go chiefs! talk is cheap let’s see them in the game

tony disibio

Chiefs will be at Full Strength, NO Excuses — The experience of the chiefs will Show, the Pass Rush will go get Burrow.

    Darth Liberty

    You were saying what now? 🤣

    TheEyesAreOpen -_-

    Speak

bishop steiner

Love the Bengals and what they are doing, but that O-Line is their Achilles heel, and the Chiefs are going to key in on that, I think.

    Preston Curry

    @Bengals Report 18 facts that and turnovers.

    IncineratedHam

    @EST 1981 thats why i said back ups

    bishop steiner

    @B Fraze well, if 5 catches for 25 yds is a feast…….

    bishop steiner

    @Kaiser yet our Passing D was still ranked 29th entering this game in yards allowed. So we do have issues.

    bishop steiner

    @Mike Blick Sacking Mahomes is like trying to catch the wind. Best to hope for is to simply upset his timing and vision. Which we finally did in the second half. First half he feasted.

Virgil Palmer

How many games in a row do the chief’s have to win..🤣

    Samuel Munoz

    @P Water: Come again? Lol

    Mudslut Music

    @Samuel Munoz Who dey!!

    P Water

    Good game y’all, congrats. Good luck and see ya in the playoffs!

    Samuel Munoz

    @Darth Liberty: ???

    Mudslut Music

    @P Water yes….as a Bengals fan I don’t want them to have to play the Chiefs again no doubt.

Nikephorus

I doubt it. The Bengals and Burrows looked pretty good squashing the Ravens practice squad last week though.

    killuminatl

    It’s funny how burrow beating mostly practice squad players was ” a playoff game” that’s saying something about the Bengals if you ask me.

    FantomL0rd

    @killuminatl Yeah, it’s weird. When the Cowboys drop 56 on a practice squad of a team they bring it up constantly, but when the Bengals drop 41 on a practice squad they are the best team in their conference.

    EST 1981

    The Bengals beat you 41-17 when you had most of your guys? 🤷‍♂️🧂

    killuminatl

    @EST 1981 no? A quick Google search could help avoid this bad take.

Shin Godzilla

The Bengals have been their own worst enemies mostly this season. They were driving to take the lead on the Chargers when Mixon had an unforced fumble. Zac Taylor cost them the 49ers win when he took the ball out of a hot Burrow’s hands in OT and settled for a FG. They have been like an extremely young team which has been learning and jelling all season. Interestingly, no turnovers in the last two games – in fact since the two muffed punts against SF (which led to a change at PR/KR). Also no INTs in three games now. If they can keep up the no turnovers streak they have a good chance of winning.

Andy Spaeth

Joe Burrow has a 128 passer rating against the blitz. KC blitzes on almost 36% of their offensive snaps. Also if you watch a lot of Burrow footage even going back to LSU he makes a lot of his great plays with his arm and his feet when he is forced to scramble. It’s a big part of who he is as a player.

    VA

    @Andy Spaeth who would you pick this week Hurts or Burrow?

    lantie

    I doubt that will be his rating against the Chiefs! Great linebackers, corners and safety’s to cover while a blitz’s are occurring! He will win a few of them, but his interception percentages might just go up! Time of possession will be key in this game!

    Dave R

    Lol can you possibly know less? Chiefs won’t blitz when your Oline sucks and Cincy has three legit weapons. They will rush four and play coverage. Chiefs D is fn great and anyone thinks they will get all of a sudden owned by a team that lost to Denver and the Jets? Give me a break. This is all hype for a game. Unless there is some turnovers or something wild the Chiefs are going to roll.

    Andy Spaeth

    @Dave R Cincinnati has 5 legit weapons and the offensive line has improved.

    NotMyActualName

    I’ve seen this story line several times this season. The chiefs blitz differently than most teams. And they know the opposing QBs stats… In games where the opposing QB is good. Against blitz they shockingly blitz less than in other games.

Joseph Dell

I’m a big Chiefs fan but appreciate the Bengals , really looking forward to this game.

Marlon Phillips

The Bengals offense does everything well, except protect Burrow. That’s going to hurt them this week.

richard blazevic

I’m a Chiefs fan but I really love Bengals. Honestly I just don’t see this a close game. Chiefs win but I hope the Bengals make playoffs.

    Darth Liberty

    😏

    P Michael Reed

    You were half right…Bengals to the playoffs.

    Eddie Cliffe

    Your team ain’t like that guy, they just aren’t. You’ll see soon enough when we meet again in the playoffs, we let you hang around yesterday, next time we play you’re gonna have to beg for mercy, 49-27 bengals in the second round

    Jeekae

    @Eddie Cliffe salty much? Lol cry about it kid

wil duke

When Joe wins his last two games,having turned around the worst team in the NFL..how does he not win the MVP?

    Bengals Report 18

    Burrow’s chances should be really good for the next season.

Toboggan...Mantis Toboggan

Guys he had one really good game. And who do you think he’s going against? I feel like everyone is losing sight at how really good the chiefs are.

    Sage

    @Lil Wrighto  he has had more than one good game that’s not true, I’m sure some Bengal fan can set you straight on that

    EST 1981

    @Lil Wrighto He’s the 2nd rated QB this season (both passer rating and PFF rating). He’s had a great SEASON…not just a great game. 😊

    Darth Liberty

    I think the Chiefs lost sight of that too. 😂 held to 3 points in the 2nd half. They couldn’t keep up with the Bengals energy. 🔥

    Sage

    @Lil Wrighto  I guess he has had 2 good games now

    Sage

    @Darth Liberty  well you could give the Bengals D some credit for the second half, great game

Charles Antill

The Chiefs have been in survival mode for 8 games, because of the 3 and 4 start. If you think they will just roll over to a young Bengals team, think again. Chiefs are a gritty, seasoned playoff team that has learned to win ugly. Every young QB that Mahomes comes up against is hyped up to be his replacement: Good luck with that.

    Sage

    Who’s saying or thinking the Chiefs will let the Bengals roll over them? The Challenge is on the Bengals side! Which is backed up by your own comments “seasoned playoff team”
    & their “gritty” you sound scared

    Mudslut Music

    Who Dey!!

    Sage

    @Mudslut Music  yep that guy was scared great game

Elite O.G

That loss to the Browns was the only game that got out of hand. self destruction with a team that took full advantage. The other losses we were there but a key turning point or TO that flipped the outcome. This team can throw hands but their young and unpredictable!

    Shantri Johnson-Troy

    🤮🤮

Cody Russow

55-24 Chiefs that’s my story and sticking to it !

    Cody Russow

    Well I will be the first to say I was wrong, although I’m not one to do this but you could definitely tell they played at Cincinnati… excellent game regardless

    Nicholas

    @Cody Russow I really thought that we had it. Refs weren’t much help though.

    Cody Russow

    @Nicholas opposite of help but I digress , water under the bridge .. tough loss excellent win for Cincinnati

    williamseric740

    That didn’t age well. 😂

    Cody Russow

    @williamseric740 lmao no it didn’t

Sean Hill

You dont tank when you are already locked into a top 10 spot with no Qb worthy of going high. You have to find out how good the guys you hsve are. Who plays hard no matter what, who are the guys you build around in the draft. You still have to maintain credibility to your current players and show the league that you can do the job snd its a place that free agents should wanna play.
