The Kansas City Chiefs stopped the Cincinnati Bengals 5 times from inside the 2 yard line but a pair of penalties called allowed the Bengals to kick a field goal as time expired for a 34-31 win.

Ja’Marr Chase had a monster game hauling in 11 passes for 266 yards and 3 touchdowns. Joe Burrow finished his second straight game over 400 yards passing, going 30-39 for 446 yards and 4 scores. The Bengals clinched the AFC North title with the win.

Patrick Mahomes went 26 of 35 passing for 259 yards and 2 touchdowns. Darrell Williams rushed for 88 yards and two scores. The Chiefs see their win streak end at 8 games and are now 11-5 on the season. KC also fell out of the top spot in the AFC after the Titans victory over the Dolphins.

The Chiefs travel to Denver next Sunday for a 3:30pm game against the Broncos to finish off the regular season.
