CINCINNATI — Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals didn’t have another fantastic finish left in them.
That had been the specialty of a talented team with a generational quarterback who could find creative ways to win games.
The Bengals were supremely confident after winning 10 in a row heading into the AFC championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs, a team they had beaten three times in the past 13 months, including in the AFC title game last year.
But too many mistakes doomed the Bengals in Sunday night's 23-20 loss.
“In football — it’s either winning or misery,” center Ted Karras said.
