Bengals Lose To Chiefs By One Point After Pass Interference Call

The Bengals against the Chiefs is always an enticing matchup and fans were treated to another thriller on Sunday night, with Kansas City just prevailing by one point after a dramatic conclusion to the game.

Chiefs Remain Unbeaten & Bengals Stay Winless

The Chiefs moved to 2-0 on Sunday night with their win over Cincinnati, while the Bengals yet again move to 0-2 after consecutive losses to Kansas City and New England.

Joe Burrow always enjoys a good game against Patrick Mahomes and the Cincinnati quarterback came out of the blocks firing this week after a disappointing week 1, with 258 passing yards for two touchdowns in a much better performance.

Mahomes on the other hand struggled, throwing two interceptions (with a third ruled out for a flag) with just 151 passing yards. The two time MVP couldn’t be stopped in the red zone however, with two passing touchdowns of his own.

The Bengals led by one point with just 16 seconds left on the clock but the Chiefs had a fourth and 16 deep in their own half to save the game. Mahomes threw deep and although he missed his man and the play was broken up, a late flag was thrown onto the field to save their blushes.
