The Bengals will scheme for an increased usage of such plays and their defensive coordinator is expert at disguising all of his coverages against PM to the point of effecting his effectiveness and they should be healthy on defense as well for this game. This will be a huge task for Reid and Beiniemy to come up with a game plan with a likely less than healthy Mahomes.
This may be blasphemy, but if PM doesn't practice all week and is severely limited come Sunday, I would not at all be surprised if Henne gets all the reps this week, Reid puts in a game plan surrounded with him starting and using everything weapon and plays he is best at to get through this game. Not having anything but basically the 98 yeard drive to go off from the tapes may be to the Chiefs advantage against the Bengals.

If Henne starts the game, we lose. Simple as that. We're not beating the Bengals with Henne.
