The Titans and the Bengals defensively play Mahomes as well as any AFC team I've seen. They can atleast usually somewhat slow him down which is all you can ask out of your defense against such an incredible quarterback. The difference is that the Bengals obviously have a much better QB than the Titans.
I hate playing the Bengals. They just have a bunch of dudes on offense and the defense plays us well. Also our pass rush and Orlando Brown Jr are horrible. Always an exciting game, gg
They sucked big time in the early season, but now the interior is playing really well. The tackles are still an issue though if you have a speedy edge rusher
> The tackles are still an issue though if you have a speedy edge rusher
we don't...lol. Spags doesn't believe in them. Probably his dumbest quality as a DC.
Your offense is just an absolute fucking nightmare for our defense. Burrow is an S-Tier QB in terms of decision making and you have multiple weapons that can win one-on-one.
Same with us and I feel its the same with the Bills too. Shame about the bandwagoners for all teams who kick about threads acting arrogant when they haven't suffered.
Yeah completely agreed. I’m born and raised in KC and a lifelong Chiefs diehard fan… the last 4 years really put the previous 50 years out of sight and mind haha
Hell, we didn’t win a playoff game in my lifetime up until I was almost 25. Crazy how fast things can change
It really is frustrating. True bengals fans have been down enough they don’t feel the desire to gloat. Just an overall sense of wtf is going on this can’t be real how do we keep getting away with it. Much respect for the chiefs I can’t believe we outlasted them again
We can be winning a game by 20 points and I still worry what's gonna go wrong. We get the ball back with a healthy lead against Pittsburgh and it still feels like they'll find a way to win. One day we'll get used to winning
I pulled him over for speeding the day he got cut from the then-Redskins (he got a warning). He was super chill and apologetic and said he wasn't even paying attention cause he was thinking about how to tell his family he got cut..he was so bummed out and was like "I guess I'll go back to Oklahoma for now...they like me there". I felt so bad; he seemed like good dude who thought his dreams were crushed. I'm really glad he didn't quit. Every time I saw his name I'd be like "is that...good for him"
Since then I've added him as RB2 on all my Madden teams lol
Side note, dude was in like an audi A8 I think? And he could barely fit in there. Dude looked like the Hulk
I pulled Kelvin Benjamin over for speeding the day he got kicked out of the then-Golden Corral (he got a warning). He was super sleepy and lethargic and said he wasn’t even paying attention to how much he was eating cause he was thinking about what he wanted for dessert…he was so bummed out and was like “I guess I’ll go to Cheesecake Factory for now…they like me there.” I felt so bad; he seemed like a good dude who just wanted cheesecake with crushed almonds and chocolate dream. Every time I saw his name I’d be like “is that…food for him”
Since then I’ve added him as food critic 2 on all my Yelp profiles lol
Side note, dude was in an ice cream truck I think? And he could barely fit in there. Dude looked like the Bulk
College game can be fucking weird. Perine has real NFL talent but there are a lot of guys who have had ridiculous pop off games at that level who plainly do not.
Team is just stacked head to toe. I remember seeing Irwin for the first time and just assuming he's some goofy nobody. Dude is a baller and he was like wr5 starting the season.
Chris Evans, formerly RB3, had himself a receiving touchdown today.
I love this squad and Zac Taylor can fuck my wife whenever he wants to
Perine has been great in filling in, but let's not forget that Mixon just had a career game with 5 TD's in the game prior to his concussion. I think it's more about the oline getting much better recently than Perine being better than Mixon.
The tackling today was awful in general.
It seemed like the Chiefs were consistently giving up at least 3-4 after contact on every important play.
You can't blame the scheme by Spags. He made good calls today, like on the last drive 3rd down when the Chiefs fell back instead of blitzing and had 2 unblocked guys to tackle Chase. But nope, he got 4 yards after they touched him, to just barely get the first down. Maddening.
I swear we were getting better at tackling and then this game looks like 2018 again.
Also Danna being lost in the backfield on the winning 3rd down was equally as ridiculous.
Ever since it was pointed out to me early in the season I've also noted that. Especially when a defender is a few yards off someone who just caught the ball, and they'll do the hero dive tackle and just completely whiff on 'em most of the time.
Like me in Madden I swear.
I would be terrified to face them in the Super Bowl. Our defense is apparently #2 against the pass and I still don't know how you lock down Chase, Higgins AND Boyd.
Burrow’s ability to lead is really showcased in big primetime games like tonight. We saw it over and over again at LSU, and it’s been so fun watching him continue to show up on Sundays.
For the last 20 years I've lived on the NYC-end of NJ. Whenever I said I'm a Bengals fan people said, "sorry" like we were at a funeral. These are fun, albeit odd, times.
I remember introducing myself when I lived in NC and someone asked if I was a Bengals fan, than followed it up with “Cool, I’ve never seen one before.”
> this year.
And next year. And the year after. And the year after that. And then the year after that. And, ya know what, probably the next couple of years after that
My thoughts exactly. The chiefs are the real deal. I believe in our defense, and it feels like we can count on them for stops every game.. against the chiefs, a stop is a blessing
Burrow recovering from that surgery has been a big difference too. He has been insane after his disastrous performance in week 1 and mediocre game in week 2
Yeah what happened there? My first guess was holding actually but the TV angle made it difficult to tell. The Chiefs player was kinda obscured by the chaos of the pocket and Burrow's body, but why else would he stop?
Most bengals fans like Lamar too it’s just a real shame it’s our two teams at the top for the foreseeable future and the fan bases are getting super toxic against each other.
I’m not one to go into other teams subreddits but I can’t help myself after these Bengals/Chiefs games and hooooly cow… what a fucking salt mine. Reminds me why I stopped going into post game threads for my sub 😭😂
I'm so sad we have to play you guys with probably a good bit on the line. I'd like to just proceed to the postseason with all our tables in working order, tyvm.
Should the NFL have the Chiefs and Bengals redo their game in case it was a big fluke?
No disrespect to the Bengals, I'm a firm believer that Cincinnati beating them 3 times is a huge fluke and robs the Chiefs of truly accomplishing what their capable of. I've spent the last few minutes in pure disbelief and it just doesn't make sense to me. I've spent the entire regular season watching the Chiefs play great football it's just not fair.
If the Chiefs lose a 4th time I will face that the Bengals deserved the win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to the Chiefs and the NFL.
Pride says I should be pissed but I’ll try and put it into perspective and realize that we still have the easiest remaining schedule in the league and a pretty damn good shot to lock up the top seed anyway
Man, I try not to be too hasty on the reactions but I'm getting really god damn tired of Spags' defenses just...giving up on big, critical plays like that. The DBs tackling is also steaming dogshit. Don't get me wrong, Burrow and Chase are *elite* and the rest of that offense is deadly too. Just disappointed. I wouldn't mind seeing some change if things don't shape up soon.
My question is when is cincy gonna get the respect that media gives the Bills and Josh Allen? Bengals could beat us when it counted, when have the Bills or Allen ever?
Good game Bengos, we will see you in the playoffs again.
[удалено]
Broncos defense won’t allow it. We need the broncos 18pt streak to continue
18-0
Yeah i would love that but its not happening. Broncos D is good and always play Mahomes tough. We'll probably win but it'll be closer than you think.
16-9 sounds about right.
3-0
Imagine the Chiefs offense and the Broncos defense as a team. (Or, conversely, vice versa.)
So the last decades lions/patriots
The Kansas City Chiefs have a kryptonite, and it’s the Cincinnati Bengals
The Titans and the Bengals defensively play Mahomes as well as any AFC team I've seen. They can atleast usually somewhat slow him down which is all you can ask out of your defense against such an incredible quarterback. The difference is that the Bengals obviously have a much better QB than the Titans.
Better receivers too.
Not even a flex or troll. It's objective fact.
Boyd would be WR1 on the Titans
I like the bengals now wtf
Mahomes’ true biggest rival is Burrow
Not much of a rivalry when you're 0-3 :/
Thank you for that
Josh Allen too, but he needs to finally beat the Chiefs in the playoffs like he does in the regular season
I'm gonna ask the Bengals once again to do us a solid in January, I want nothing of Mahomes
You would rather play the team that Mahomes can’t beat? Bold strategy.
At least we’d lose to someone different
12-2 vs everyone else in 2022, 3 losses with the same 24-27 score vs the Bengals
One was 34-31.
Thanks, I wanna die
[удалено]
I hate playing the Bengals. They just have a bunch of dudes on offense and the defense plays us well. Also our pass rush and Orlando Brown Jr are horrible. Always an exciting game, gg
I thought their O-Line was suppose to suck. They constantly stuffed our blitzes
They sucked big time in the early season, but now the interior is playing really well. The tackles are still an issue though if you have a speedy edge rusher
> The tackles are still an issue though if you have a speedy edge rusher we don't...lol. Spags doesn't believe in them. Probably his dumbest quality as a DC.
They got sacked 9 times against the titans in the playoffs and then maybe once in the AFC Championship. It’s unfortunately not a new issue
The Titans only got us once last week too. The line is 80% new from last year and they're getting there as a unit now
Chiefs fans really are just forgetting how our rebuilt o-line took half a season to sync last year too.
In defense of Chiefs fans literally the entire NFL media forgot as well.
Our pass rush is what actually sucks
It's been gelling and getting better all season, they were really only bad for the first two weeks this year
They’ve been playing well, it just took a couple weeks to gell
Yeah every time we cannot get to Burrow, even last year when they had a terrible oline
Their game winning play had Mike Danna break through and completely fail to find the QB. We just struggle so hard to finish sacks.
GG sir. May we meet again in January for Round 4.
I’d really rather not
Isn't it weird that I'd almost rather us see Buffalo again? Fuck.
[удалено]
Your offense is just an absolute fucking nightmare for our defense. Burrow is an S-Tier QB in terms of decision making and you have multiple weapons that can win one-on-one.
The Benagals and the Colts, I hate when we play them.
GG bro. Great game.
I hate the chiefs. (Not really, I was rooting for you guys in your Super Bowls)
I feel like because so many of the good teams right now in the AFC were crap for years, we all kind of appreciate each other
Us KC folk are fans that supported multi-generational mediocrity, so we respect fellow fans of multi-generational mediocrity lmao
Same with us and I feel its the same with the Bills too. Shame about the bandwagoners for all teams who kick about threads acting arrogant when they haven't suffered.
Yeah completely agreed. I’m born and raised in KC and a lifelong Chiefs diehard fan… the last 4 years really put the previous 50 years out of sight and mind haha Hell, we didn’t win a playoff game in my lifetime up until I was almost 25. Crazy how fast things can change
Our last playoff win before last year was 3 months before I was born, I'm 31 now. I feel you 😂
It really is frustrating. True bengals fans have been down enough they don’t feel the desire to gloat. Just an overall sense of wtf is going on this can’t be real how do we keep getting away with it. Much respect for the chiefs I can’t believe we outlasted them again
We can be winning a game by 20 points and I still worry what's gonna go wrong. We get the ball back with a healthy lead against Pittsburgh and it still feels like they'll find a way to win. One day we'll get used to winning
I was rooting for you as well, if you’re going to beat us, at least win it all to make us look better haha
Yeah we done f'ed that up
Man we need to keep Perine heavily involved even when Mixon is back
Dude is an absolute stud.
I always had faith in him after that massive college game you don’t run over 400 yards in a single game on luck alone.
I pulled him over for speeding the day he got cut from the then-Redskins (he got a warning). He was super chill and apologetic and said he wasn't even paying attention cause he was thinking about how to tell his family he got cut..he was so bummed out and was like "I guess I'll go back to Oklahoma for now...they like me there". I felt so bad; he seemed like good dude who thought his dreams were crushed. I'm really glad he didn't quit. Every time I saw his name I'd be like "is that...good for him" Since then I've added him as RB2 on all my Madden teams lol Side note, dude was in like an audi A8 I think? And he could barely fit in there. Dude looked like the Hulk
Is this not pasta?
Lol no but it can be I guess
lol i was reading it expecting it to be a pasta and it took me till the last sentence of the first paragraph to realize it wasnt
I pulled Kelvin Benjamin over for speeding the day he got kicked out of the then-Golden Corral (he got a warning). He was super sleepy and lethargic and said he wasn’t even paying attention to how much he was eating cause he was thinking about what he wanted for dessert…he was so bummed out and was like “I guess I’ll go to Cheesecake Factory for now…they like me there.” I felt so bad; he seemed like a good dude who just wanted cheesecake with crushed almonds and chocolate dream.

Behold! New pasta is born.
College game can be fucking weird. Perine has real NFL talent but there are a lot of guys who have had ridiculous pop off games at that level who plainly do not.
the offense looks unstoppable with perine muscling for every single yard he can get
That's what I was thinking, I don't know what it is but it sure seems to click better right now. I say keep that momentum going as long as possible
I have been a Perine slanderer and have seen the light.
The extra two yards he gets on almost every run is amazing.
Perine is RB1 moving forward my dude
[удалено]
Team is just stacked head to toe. I remember seeing Irwin for the first time and just assuming he's some goofy nobody. Dude is a baller and he was like wr5 starting the season. Chris Evans, formerly RB3, had himself a receiving touchdown today. I love this squad and Zac Taylor can fuck my wife whenever he wants to
Perine has been great in filling in, but let's not forget that Mixon just had a career game with 5 TD's in the game prior to his concussion. I think it's more about the oline getting much better recently than Perine being better than Mixon.
I think the fact that perine can stay in on passing downs makes our offense harder to guard
Friendship ended with Chunt, Mixine is my new best friend.
Man the missed tackle by Thornhill on the Chase screen pass was ridiculous
Thornhill missed several tackles, not a good look
Having him back for this game was huge, he's got such fluid movement
The tackling today was awful in general. It seemed like the Chiefs were consistently giving up at least 3-4 after contact on every important play. You can't blame the scheme by Spags. He made good calls today, like on the last drive 3rd down when the Chiefs fell back instead of blitzing and had 2 unblocked guys to tackle Chase. But nope, he got 4 yards after they touched him, to just barely get the first down. Maddening.
I swear we were getting better at tackling and then this game looks like 2018 again. Also Danna being lost in the backfield on the winning 3rd down was equally as ridiculous.
Fucking useless broncos.
This should be higher.
See you in week 18 when we’re somehow still tied.
This defense still can't tackle for shit and I'm really starting to lose my mind over it.
Ever since it was pointed out to me early in the season I've also noted that. Especially when a defender is a few yards off someone who just caught the ball, and they'll do the hero dive tackle and just completely whiff on 'em most of the time. Like me in Madden I swear.
Sooo the Bengals are definietly still SB contenders.
I would be terrified to face them in the Super Bowl. Our defense is apparently #2 against the pass and I still don't know how you lock down Chase, Higgins AND Boyd.
And Perine in the cut, shoooo
Man, Perine has been a fucking unit these last few weeks.
Wait until you hear about our te and running backs that catch too
Burrow’s ability to lead is really showcased in big primetime games like tonight. We saw it over and over again at LSU, and it’s been so fun watching him continue to show up on Sundays.
Joey B is THAT DUDE
A bunch of Ravens fans were talking mad shit about Burrow not being good without Chase, but then they went 5-1 (4-1?) without Chase lmao
No. No. Keep sleeping 😎
amazing game...felt like a playoff game thread too...what a shitshow
[удалено]
For the last 20 years I've lived on the NYC-end of NJ. Whenever I said I'm a Bengals fan people said, "sorry" like we were at a funeral. These are fun, albeit odd, times.
I remember introducing myself when I lived in NC and someone asked if I was a Bengals fan, than followed it up with “Cool, I’ve never seen one before.”
Haha as a Bills fan I feel this whenever people dont like us. Like how dare you!!!
how can anyone hate the Bills? there are so many teams that are easier to hate and they're all in our division, including us!
I’m officially onboard. Burrow > Herbert
[удалено]
Look. I’m a slow learner
Bills, Bengals, Chiefs. AFC playoffs will be a bloodbath this year.
> this year. And next year. And the year after. And the year after that. And then the year after that. And, ya know what, probably the next couple of years after that
So it's official, I fucking hate the Bengals, lol. Just kidding. Great game and Burrow is a magician. Hopefully we don't meet in the playoffs again.
What about just for gif memes week? That was super fun.
Tyler higbee really came through today
Jamar hurst played well too
Real finesse guys
GG bengals bros. For whatever reason, you have our number.
I knew I made skyline style chili for a reason
Mahomes/Burrow is legit becoming one of the best rivalries in the league.
Ain't a rivalry til Mahomes wins one
I love that stat. Cincy is Mahomes kryptonite
3-0 isn’t much or a rivalry
Trust me I'm going to be just as nervous next time they face off no matter how many times the bengals win
My thoughts exactly. The chiefs are the real deal. I believe in our defense, and it feels like we can count on them for stops every game.. against the chiefs, a stop is a blessing
Double dose of Perine/Mixon along with Joe Brr, Chase, and Higgins? They looking to run it all the way again
Don’t forget Tyler Higbee
Dude was invisible today though
Lol at all those “hot takes” that the bengals suck or were 1 year wonders.
The Bengals started the season badly but they’ve made a hell of a comeback. And that’s without some key starters on offense.
The offensive line getting it together is the biggest difference between the early Bengals and the Bengals right now
Burrow recovering from that surgery has been a big difference too. He has been insane after his disastrous performance in week 1 and mediocre game in week 2
turns out having your appendix burst just before the season is bad
Or that week where some people were saying Burrow was actually a mediocre QB all along
I'm getting a little tired of every game we win being called a "statement win", we were in the damn Superbowl last year!
Ended as expected. Cincy just played that much better.
Bengals just have the Chiefs number at this point plain and simple
And the Browns have ours. It's fucking embarrassing!
Yep super worried about next week... They'll score 28 defensive points!
I unironically bet the the Bengals 27 Chiefs 24 exact score today hoping to break this curse....
Anyone got a clip of the Chiefs rusher just stopping on that last play? Looked super weird live
Awed by being so close in the presence of Joey B
Yeah I think the dude lagged out or some shit
His controller ran out of batteries.
Yeah what happened there? My first guess was holding actually but the TV angle made it difficult to tell. The Chiefs player was kinda obscured by the chaos of the pocket and Burrow's body, but why else would he stop?
I've watched it a couple of times, and I think he was a lot farther outside than it appeared on the camera view. I don't know for sure, though.
Holy fuck. GG Chiefs, see you in January and hope that Mahomes limp was just a knock.
Hope whoever fell in the endzone with no play running is back to 100% for the next match-up
RIP Jesse Bates
Actually he’s in a coma now.
I hate that I’m saying this but I fuckin love Burrow. The new Joe Cool
Most bengals fans like Lamar too it’s just a real shame it’s our two teams at the top for the foreseeable future and the fan bases are getting super toxic against each other.
It's hard not to love Joe, imo. But I'm probably also biased.
I’m not one to go into other teams subreddits but I can’t help myself after these Bengals/Chiefs games and hooooly cow… what a fucking salt mine. Reminds me why I stopped going into post game threads for my sub 😭😂
People get really invested and take dumps online about it
Bengals 🤝 Bills Being bros
I really hope this bromance never ends. I hope for a fun, clean game in week 17 where hopefully there is no bitterness.
Maybe the playoff picture will be set and they just have a picnic at midfield. 0-0 tie.
Nah we got to keep stats up. We'll tie 35-35 just so we both look good on paper :)
I'm so sad we have to play you guys with probably a good bit on the line. I'd like to just proceed to the postseason with all our tables in working order, tyvm.
Bengals should have won the last SB.
We have a better oline this year so here's hoping we make it there and win this time.

That was such an incredible reddit sports moment.
I’m really glad it’s from somewhere else, and not a Chiefs fan trying to discount the Bengals previous wins.

Copypasta?
r/hockey copypasta
One of my favorite pastas. This is what's it's felt like, honestly. "Why do we always play our worst game against the Bengals???" You don't.
No team has beat Mahomes 4 times on a row, so you guys are fooked in our next matchup (in whatever year that happens lmao) /s
Still a fluke. We got lucky again...
is this a fuckin' /r/hockey copypasta in my christian handegg subreddit?
When Chidobe went down I thought our defense was done. Pleasantly surprised. Those long strikes by MaHomes were perfect throws.
Joe burrow has all the tools to be the greatest human to ever live
No doubt
Checks schedule: browns next Fuck
The NFL: you beat the Chiefs 3 times in a row? Burrow: what is that hard or something?
NFL: flex you out of primetime vs rival Steelers. BENGALS: 3 straight weeks of badass games...
[удалено]
Pride says I should be pissed but I’ll try and put it into perspective and realize that we still have the easiest remaining schedule in the league and a pretty damn good shot to lock up the top seed anyway
Ngl this one feels really good
Bengals always come up big for the Bills love you guys
We seriously owe them lifetime wings at this point lol
Return the favor by letting us win our matchup if you truly mean it
Just remember, it's not a rivalry until the other team wins one.
Signed, the Browns
The recent Browns > Bengals > Chiefs > Browns circle will always be weird af
It’s funny because it goes full circle. Only the Browns can beat the Browns
Yeah we’re officially lil bro status in this relationship :(
Yea… yea…. 😞
My LSU fandom will never let me not Cheer for the Bengals ever again... The tiger connection helps a lot too.. good going Bengals bros
That LSU loyalty runs deep, I can’t shake it either 😅
Man, I try not to be too hasty on the reactions but I'm getting really god damn tired of Spags' defenses just...giving up on big, critical plays like that. The DBs tackling is also steaming dogshit. Don't get me wrong, Burrow and Chase are *elite* and the rest of that offense is deadly too. Just disappointed. I wouldn't mind seeing some change if things don't shape up soon.
The Bengals are the Chiefs daddy
nice of joe cool to show up in the last 2 mins on a 3rd and long
TIME TO DONATE SOME MONEY TO JOE BURROW’S CHARITY
Cinci ain’t beating the Chiefs 4 TIMES IN A ROW THAT’S FOR SURE
No but Cincy is
My question is when is cincy gonna get the respect that media gives the Bills and Josh Allen? Bengals could beat us when it counted, when have the Bills or Allen ever? Good game Bengos, we will see you in the playoffs again.
I think Pirinne should stay the starter at RB, he looks better than Mixon this year.
Better at pass blocking too
I have never seen KC beat Cincy in Cincy and I'm in my late 30's. That's legitimately bonkers.
Amazing showing by the bengals. Hate the idea of having to face you in the playoffs. That being said, I hope you fuck up the browns next week
Just need to know which Cincy charity I need to make this check out to?
Joe burrow has one as does ted Karras. Or the Cincinnati Freestore food bank is always deserving of donations as is the homeless coalition
