Confirmation bias is what I am going to call it. The Chiefs and Mahomes have been the darlings and feel good story of the NFL after winning their second SB in 50 years. Now we have the Bengals and Burrow. The Bengals haven't done anything for a long time and have been really bad which has allowed them to stockpile some very good players. Add in a little bit of unreal play by their star receiver, some timely penalties and a stagnant second half Chiefs offense and you get a game that keeps fans glued to their seats for the entire game.
I was entertained and I was more disappointed that the defense never adjusted by doubling up on Chase. The offense went into a shell for some reason. We will never know if the Chiefs would have gotten those same types of penalties because they weren't trying those types of plays.
I'm frustrated, disappointed and want a target for it.
