As the clock struck triple zeroes on the Kansas City Chiefs’ third straight loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, many in Chiefs Kingdom had the same question on their minds: Why can’t the Chiefs beat the Bengals?
Over the last 25 regular season and playoff games, Kansas City has only suffered five losses — three of them to Cincinnati. We’ve seen the Chiefs build leads in those contests — and also produce some highlight-reel plays. Yet each one has ended as a consequential loss.
The worst part? It felt like Kansas City made the same mistakes in Sunday’s loss as it did in previous ones.
