They don't seem to have the silly mistakes like a FG kicker missing a ton of kicks, or fumbling kick returns, or fumbling in general across their team. Meanwhile THEY are the team forcing fumbles and other turnovers on the opponent every week in big moments. They're a physical team in the trenches, underrated in that regard. Great QB, great receiving weapons, 2 damn good RB's. Good enough DL/pass rush to give the other QB some trouble.

Their OL and rushing issues literally just showed up last week against the Ravens.
Burrow was sacked 4 times and hit 8 times. The Bengals were held to 50 rushing yards and 2.8 yards per carry.
The Bills have been getting gashed on the ground lately and their pass rush was never the same without Miller.
The OL is absolutely a weakness that the Chiefs should be able to exploit like so many other teams have (which is why Burrow is one of the most sacked QBs in the game and their rushing stats have been so poor). The problem for most teams is that they don’t also have the fire power to keep up with those great Cinci weapons and QB.
The Chiefs do though. There are zero excuses for the defense to get gashed again by the Bengals and to not put Burrow on his ass multiple times.
If they don’t take advantage of those OL issues, the Chiefs will lose and deservedly so.
