The Chiefs got a little help on the final drive of the game. The Bengals had the Chiefs on 4th-and-16 when Patrick Mahomes rushed and found Rashee Rice in minimal space to try to make a catch and extend the drive. Instead, Bengals defensive back Daijahn Anthony ran into Rice early, forcing a pass interference penalty call.

This gave Kansas City an extra set of downs and allowed Butker to score a field goal.

Mahomes didn’t exactly have his best game. He was 18 of 25 for 151 passing yards, two touchdown passes, and threw two interceptions, including one to Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt who made an incredible play to force the turnover.

On the next drive, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow fumbled the ball and Chamarri Conner picked it up and returned it for a touchdown. Conner’s touchdown gave the Chiefs a 23-22 lead.

Burrow picked up the pieces and led the Bengals on an eight-play, 33-yard drive that ended with an Evan McPherson field goal. The drive might have ended differently had Ja’Marr Chase not been given an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for his interaction with an official.

Burrow was 23-of-36 with 258 passing yards and two touchdown passes. Tight end Mike Gesicki had seven catches for 91 yards. Chase had four catches for 35 yards.
