Notes about the Experts’ Analysis
- The main question mark is Patrick Mahomes’ physical condition. He looked good in training on Wednesday, but that’s no guarantee that his ankle will be 100% recovered. The Chiefs live on what their QB can do coming out of the protection zone, and without a lot of mobility, it will be very difficult for them.
- Joe Burrow has shown since last season that he does not shy away from this type of game. Beyond their Super Bowl loss, the Bengals have managed to win important games away from home and already have three wins in a row against the Chiefs.
- However, Burrow needs his offensive line to respond to one of the few strengths of the Chiefs’ defense: their ability to record sacks. They totaled 55 catches on the campaign, and the Bengals’ QB was the 11th-most caught QB in the league (44).
- It is vital for Cincinnati to go into the final period with an advantage. In the postseason, they have not allowed a point in the fourth period; and in the regular round, they were the second team that allowed the fewest goals in this condition.
