KC is 1-3 vs. CIN last I checked. CIN has outscored KC something like 20-6 in the 4th quarter over the last 3 games. Those are facts. And let's not forget that CIN was down 3/5 starting OLs in the last one. So let's not pretend that KC just dominated the last AFCCG.

I'll keep saying it. CIN has been able to stall the KC offense repeatedly, and the lack of talent in the WR group has been glaring in the last two matchups. The KC defense has done its job over the last three games vs. CIN, but the offense hasn't been able to even score to their season average.

And right now, we have one returning WR that we can probably depend on in MVS, and the rest of the room is pretty much wishful thinking.

We HOPE Toney can stay healthy, and then we HOPE he can perform reliably for a season.

We HOPE Skyy can triple his production and score more than zero TDs.

We HOPE Justyn and John can do anything in the regular season. Anything would be better than zero.

We HOPE McKinnon returns and performs at about the same level.

We HOPE Justin Watson returns and at least gives us the same level of production.

We HOPE whoever we draft can produce at least as well as Hardman did in his first season.




But right now, the Chiefs WR room is far less talented than it was in 2022, that can't be argued. And no real answers either in the TE or the RB rooms at the moment. Just more hopes, except for Pacheco.

CIN doesn't have to hope. They don't even need their defense to perform at the same level as they did in 2022. They need to simply be a little more efficient on offense, play average on defense, and they'll be able to notch another W.

From their perspective, I don't know what else they'd be thinking. They have the upper hand, and the stats as well as the results to prove it. If their OTs had been healthy, chances are CIN goes to the SB. If I were their FO/ownership that's what I'd be thinking.
