Can the Chiefs get hard again after their marathon F**K session last weekend? Is there concern for a downturn in performance after such an epic and likely emotionally draining game against Buffalo?
Can the Bengals keep offensive pace with #15, #87, #10, and whomever plays the Wildcard on Sunday (#1 /#25/ #17 / #13)?
Will the Chiefs DBs slow down Chase?
Will the Chiefs DL take advantage of a scrub Cincinnati OL?
The Chiefs offense proved to be the heroes last weekend, but the Defense is likely going to have to make plays and step up against the Bengals, forcing an important stop or two. Has Spagnuolo learned from mistakes made during Week#17?
These are my concerns. I think the Bengals are going to be a damn tough out, and this game may have more of a Broncos Week 18 feel to it.
*ETA: Even as a pessimist (I am never cocky or completely confident on gameday--ever), I feel the Chiefs should by all accounts win on Sunday and would only lose through bad coaching decisions, or some weird regression of player performance similar to earlier this season.
