What is it about these matchups between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals that makes them all turn out essentially the same way? Kansas City dropped its third game of the season in all-too-familiar fashion on Sunday afternoon, losing 27-24 in Cincinnati.
In a game of inches, it came down to a handful of mistakes made by the Chiefs. A bunch of missed tackles, Travis Kelce’s fumble, Harrison Butker’s miss, Patrick Mahomes taking a sack... each time, the Bengals were able to take advantage. In the end, we were deprived of a classic Mahomes comeback victory by the same three-man pass rushing, precision-passing opponent that beat Kansas City twice to end last season.
