IMO, the biggest disadvantage the Chiefs DL has against the Bengals OL is they don't have a dominant Edge Rusher (DE) while the opposite is true for the Bengals DL against the Chiefs OL. I don't know if it's scheme or player however many time the Chiefs DE go wide and are completely out of the play. Last week, on the long pass that was dropped by the Jags, both DE were so far out of the play that they could have been sitting down.
I don't believe the Chiefs have the necessary players to be able to pressure Burrow much and with the receiving corps they have, it's going to be a long day unless they can get a couple of turnovers.
Not sure what the issue is with the Chiefs OL however being one of the worst in the league on 3rd and short seems to indicate they guys aren't that powerful or the scheme is just bad.
