Cinci @ KC, 3 PM, CBS

SF @ LA, 6:30 PM, FOX

One of these games is about to start.

They pulled Tom Crusise out of the annals of nothingness, to brandish his arrogant voice on a lecture of how he thinks he's better than everything. That sucked to listen to. (Doesn't he have a movie to ruin, let Europe put up with him, go back to Italy and break a leg acting like a &&&&&. If it weren't for terrible roles, tom Cruise wouldn't have a career. He comes across as selfish as much as Rodney Dangerfield came across as self deprecating.)

who needs a microphone

The National Anthem, is a written song that is supposed to be sung as is. It's not supposed to be re imagined everytime they pull some person out of the ether to sing a new version. Why not just sing it to the tune of happy birthday, if one is not going to sing it correctly.

KCs defense, is fundamentaly not very good but every now and then, they put together a couple of game minutes of making big BIG game changing turnovers, and touchdown scoring plays.
In the last 3-4 games, the Chiefs have not had that version of their defense do much.

What a TD catch by Hill!

Aside from the improvisation on the TD throw by mahommes.
Andy Reid is not going to deviate from the 2 offensive plays he called on that drive until Cincinnati decided to commit to stop them.
Handoff up the middle and the safe sideline pass.
Ok, there was one, what I would say looked like a naked screen pass to Hill that wasn't to the sideline, but basically 2 plays used on almost every play of that opening drive.
Ok one of the runs went to the fullback instead of the Rb, and one of the runs was a QB scramble off the drop back, but basically just two play calls on that drive.

its like Burrows threw 2 good balls that should of been tds. Mahomes throws balls deep and somehow is easy catches

You have to be kidding me Mahomes ... 14-3 CHIEFS

he looked like johnny manziel

Why do refs always refuse to call intentional grounding, obviously Burrow did not get that ball near the line of scrimmage.

TOUCHDOWN KC 21-3

21 to 3 with about 5 minutes left in the first half. KC kicking butt, not surprised.

NOPE I Picked 38-24 Could Be Worse ...

The Chiefs got a little extra motivated the day the Buccaneers got beat in the NFC, because the team that beat them in the Super Bowl last year, got eliminated, therefore they may feel, it's all theirs for the taking.

21-3 Chiefs lead, Cincinnati has punted twice and is quietly giving up a lot on the ground, but the Passes are setting up the runs.

Big Drive for the Bungles

It was about to go down, if Cincy had missed that pass, and punted.

I was rooting for them since they're from Ohio and so am I, but me thinks I gotta stop rooting for the underdog. It's KC's time to shine with the Bucs out of the race and Brady perhaps retiring.

What a difference a quick strike precision passing attack makes in a game like this. It's almost like, as necessary as oil.

Burrow keeping Cintucky alive ....

Did you mean the DL? ... Both!

That's just what the Bengals needed a freakin' TD!

CHIEFS and Mahomes have 1:05 to score ...

Abysmal KC defense just gave up an extra 30 and the TD to anyone who gets up and catched in the middle of the secondary.
They've done that to a lot of teams, Buffalo, a lot of teams, 10-21 Cincy got a touchdown. KC leads.

Twice??

Who covers that tight end on this upcoming play

13 Seconds uh oh

Very impressive stop by Cinci!

Dumb

Bonehead play by KC. Throw it away and take the FG.

Can't believe Mahomes chose to throw it in bounds short of the Goal line? The Bengals got a huge break and are still alive ...

Missed Field goal, negative 3 points , analyze that Depodesta ! ( I heard him state that FGs' in the middle of a game don't win games).
Sigh.
All of these teams have flaws, even the Chiefs.

Trade him ... if that was Baker oh my he would be getting crucified

They could have tried the FG with 6 seconds to play, as a coaches decision. I think it would have made sense, I love drives that end in FGs for the offense. Especially if a team has the lead by more than 5. Not every time, but in that situation, a chance to go up by 14 instead of 11. Once the game clock got under 8 seconds I think it's the time to chose the Field goal.

LOL...Can you believe the Chiefs couldn't score there?

It may come back to haunt them.

I totally blame Andy Reid, or would that be Eric Bienemey, Who let Who, go for the offense on the field goal with only 6 seconds in the half and a sure FG on the table? Who let who?
I don't blame the Qb, he did what QB's do, they shouldn't have given him the opportunity to, because they had the lead at home.

How about the sound guys. Great job. Anthem then halftime.

Was that like a 3 minute halftime?

Question, is a lineman who gets beat, allowed to hit the defender from behind and fall on him? On KC's second TD, the defender is chasing Mahommes, and a lineman, who is running back towards the endzone behind them, squarely hits the defender in the back and falls on him. If he doesn't do this, there is no TD.
