KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An untimely penalty and a game-winning 45-yard kick became the difference with less than a minute remaining in the AFC Championship Game.
Bengals defensive end Joseph Ossai was flagged for a 15-yard personal foul after hitting quarterback Patrick Mahomes out of bounds with 17 seconds remaining in regulation.
The infraction moved the Chiefs closer to the Bengals’ 27-yard line, where Harrison Butker took care of the rest by drilling a 45-yard field goal to give his team a 23-20 win, which sends the Chiefs to Super Bowl LVII.
