KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — It’s hard to tell these days what’s more entertaining to watch: Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs’ high-flying offense or their crazy, creative touchdown celebrations. Opposing teams are getting a heavy dose of both. The Bengals were their latest victims on Sunday night, getting blown out 45-10 at Arrowhead Stadium.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Andy Dalton struggled, Joe Mixon was bottled up and Cincinnati managed just 239 yards total offense in a 45-10 loss in Kansas City on Sunday night. The dominance was so complete that the Chiefs defense, which got a pick-6 from Ron Parker, nearly outscored the Bengals.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Chase Elliott has won at Kansas Speedway to take momentum into the third round of NASCAR’s playoffs. Elliott’s victory bookended the second round of the playoffs.
