Vote now: What was the biggest reason for KC Chiefs’ 34-31 loss to the Bengals?
The Chiefs led for most of Sunday’s game against the Bengals but Cincinnati came away with a 34-31 win after outscoring Kansas City 17-3 in the second half.
From the Chiefs’ perspective, there were a number of potential reasons for the defeat. Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase had 266 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The Chiefs also lost a touchdown when a penalty negated Byron Pringle’s kickoff return for a touchdown.
There were a number of calls by the officials that went against the Chiefs. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told CBS Sports after the game: “We got a little lucky ... got some calls today.”
The Bengals scored their final touchdown after converting on a third-and-27 play when the Chiefs blitzed. Did that blitz cost them? How about Tyreek Hill’s drop on a bomb shortly before halftime?
