LEXINGTON, Ky. — The sports adage says that it’s hard for any good team to beat another good team three straight times. So what about four? That’s the question for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game in Kansas City, Mo.
The Cincinnati Bengals have defeated the mighty Chiefs three times over the past two seasons. Joe Burrow and Company knocked off Kansas City, 34-31, in Cincinnati on Jan. 2 last season, then four weeks later repeated the trick in the AFC title game, edging Patrick Mahomes and Company, 27-24 in overtime.
Will history repeat? The Bengals clipped the Chiefs, 27-24, at Paycor Stadium on Dec. 4. Now the two teams meet again Sunday at 6:30 p.m at Arrowhead Stadium on CBS for a berth in Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12 in Glendale, Ariz.
