Awesome moment after the AFC Championship as @Bengals rookie kicker Evan McPherson celebrated sending his team to the Super Bowl with his mom. pic.twitter.com/04CcKnmPuq
.@ohthatsNajee22 & @Juiceup__3 have each been named to the 2022 #ProBowl. The duo replaces Cincinnati's WR Ja'Marr Chase & RB Joe Mixon. pic.twitter.com/z0UsTjLDYP
C.J. Uzomah was in tears while being carted to the locker room. pic.twitter.com/Trr82xalvJ
Ja'Marr Chase vs Jalen Ramsey will be an absolute battle 🿠pic.twitter.com/G4bULO9K83
Eli Apple probably should've kept his mouth shut this week.
Zac Taylor losing his mind at the official after the Mahomes TD.
If the bengals don't hand Jessie Bates a new deal after this playoff run Idk what they're doing.
Tee Higgins on celebrating the moment the game-winning kick went through: "It didn't feel real at all. I'm not going to lie."
Mike Brown: Going to the Super Bowl has a nice ring to it. The people in Cincinnati will be Who Deying throughout the night.
Bengals S Vonn Bell: "When our back's against the wall, that's when we fight the best."
In a Seahawks-related note, Tre Flowers is gonna play in the Super Bowl. How ‘bout that.
And just as you expected, Trent Taylor just caught the two-point conversion. Trent Taylor. We are tied.
Sam Hubbard: "We're going to the Super Bowl and it sounds crazy to say that. When you say that, it's just hard to believe. I love this team. I love this city. We got one more to get it all."
Trey Hendrickson was on most Bills Mafia wish lists last offseason. Dude cost a ton but worth every penny on the biggest stage. Bills need a playmaker on the edge. It's priority 1 with a bullet.
Zac Taylor and Duke Tobin had to remake these #Bengals. But there were a couple guys they had to keep, ones who they felt would lead and set the tone and establish their collective character. Tyler Boyd was one. Congrats, @boutdat_23. You're a good, @Pitt_FB man. 😉 pic.twitter.com/V7MxXgBzAr
Somehow, Samaje Perine manufactures a TD out of thin air. Turns a screen play into a 41-yard TD. Kansas City 21, Bengals 10, 1:05 left in the half.
#Bengals inactives vs #Chiefs: DE Cam Sample DT Josh Tupou CB Vernon Hargreaves WR Stanley Morgan WR Trenton Irwin HB Trayveon Williams OL Fred Johnson
Oh wow. Bengals DT B.J. Hill bats and gets an INT to get another stop. A very, very loud "Who Dey" chant going up in Kansas City right now.
Maybe one of these teams currently looking for a coach should start taking a look at Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. He was interviewed by the Giants, and no one else.
Germaine Pratt just grabbing the microphone like he's cutting a promo.
Bengals second-round pick Jackson Carman has replaced Hakeem Adeniji at right guard.
Isaiah Prince was a liability in college. Still hard to believe he's starting in the AFC title game.
What is the world coming to when you have to leave the Dallas Cowboys to go to Cincinnati to be able to go to a Super Bowl? Congrats to Chidobe Awuzie pic.twitter.com/q0q2IOdqbM
Oof. That was Brandon Allen's biggest L since the Broncos blew that lead at Minnesota in 2019.
We have removed the injury designation for S Tyrann Mathieu. He will play in today's game. pic.twitter.com/Rw2Pq0bi9b
There were debates last week whether Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen were the new Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Meanwhile, Joe Burrow is going to the Super Bowl.
#Chiefs Frank Clark: "Kansas City is home. I bought a house here, my daughter goes to school here. I want to be here the rest of my career."
Andy Reid calls a TO with 13 seconds left. And crowd goes nuts. And a "thir-teen seconds' chant has broken out. Sorry, Buffalo.
The Kansas City Chiefs tried to get a little creative with their usage of veteran TE Blake Bell in the divisional round against the Buffalo Bills.
It was third-and-1 from the Bills’ 7-yard line and the Chiefs were up by two points. Patrick Mahomes motioned out of shotgun and put tight end Blake Bell under center. It looked like it was going to be a patented QB sneak play that they’ve run with Bell all season long. Instead, they ran a QB sprint option to the boundary side of the field. Bell pitched the ball to Jerick McKinnon, who lost three yards on the play
"To beat the Chiefs you have to take away their two main weapons: Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill." @Ravens DE @CalaisCampbell is in the building and tells us how the Bengals can slow down the Chiefs. pic.twitter.com/KC0iNg3QVU
Harrison Butker for overtime! The Chiefs and Bengals are heading to OT, tied at 24. 🎥 @NFL pic.twitter.com/9FEAemipKL
Here are the Chiefs' inactives for today's game against Cincinnati: QB Shane Buechele CB DeAndre Baker RB Derrick Gore DE Joshua Kaindoh OT Prince Tega Wanogho DT Khalen Saunders

Joe Thuney saved the Chiefs' season … for now.
Oh my. KC gambled for a touchdown and instead come away with no points. Eli Apple with an open-field tackle on Tyreek Hill. Might wanna mark that down for later. Halftime: KC 21, Bengals 10.
TE Noah Gray is questionable to return with an ankle injury. pic.twitter.com/8T5cq4my1v
Trey Smith has his helmet on & is ready for the second half.
Maybe Melvin Ingram was right. He should have been starting in Pittsburgh
One of the easiest drives of the year for a #Bengals opponent, capped by a wide open Mecole Hardman taking a 3-yard pass from Mahomes. It's 21-3 with 5:04 left in the half
Hey @BrandonThornNFL I'm going to need you to break down the play Orlando Brown buried the edge and belly flopped on him.
Didn't see that same energy from Willie Gay tonight when they panned to him on the sidelines after that Bengals GW FG… twitter.com/mattparrino/st…
Blake Bell was in the blue tent for less than 2 minutes. He's on the sideline with his helmet on.
Two contested passes that the Chiefs win with their corners, Rashad Fenton & Charvarius Ward. The Bengals, after 14 plays, settled for 3, cutting the Chiefs' lead, 7-3.
Armani Watts tackles Trent Taylor after a very solid return. Armani Watts played football at Texas A&M.
Bengals wanted a deep shot and L'Jarius Sneed had Chase blankted. A massive INT in this tie game.
Crazy but true: My @WilsonBulldogs buddy Chad Henne is active for his FIFTH consecutive Conference Championship game. Only 3 other QBs have ever done it. Can you name them?
