Mahomes injury isn't as serious as same one suffered in 2019

I think we can run the ball down their throats, and we need to to kill their pass rush.

No argument here. Our O-line is built to punch people in the mouth. Do it. I guarantee you the Bungles will get sick of Pacheco really fast.

Except when it's 3rd and inches.

The Bengals have a really stout pair of DTs against the run. Running against them is very hard.

They're good everywhere.

The Chiefs have a cheat code to all of this, though, and that's Mahomes if he's healthy. But the Bengals shut that down by confusing him in coverage. They also shut him down by having Hendrickson take Orlando Brown to school.

Mahomes is going to solve the scheme, because he's brilliant.

If Orlando Brown can keep Hendrickson off Mahomes, then Mahomes at even 80% is enough to win this game.

I just... have my concerns that OBJ is up for that challenge.

May have to keep McKinnon in for extra protection.

Maybe. Two issues:

1. The Bengals will likely not send a single blitz in the second half. If I watched the last three games I don't think they blitzed Mahomes once in the second half. So McKinnon is more helpful leaking out.

2. The Chiefs never, ever help OBJ.

Solid, not unreal.

The Bengals were just slightly better than us in rushing yards per game given up, rushing yards per play given up, and rushes against per game. They didn't see much running against them, much like KC, but they can be ran on.

If you can shut their offense down and keep pounding them, or at least pounding them early and maintaining point for point, I think it'll end up paying dividends later in the game.

The only thing I ever question is Reid actually doing that. He probably won't.
