That’s pretty significant, especially considering KC was down to MVS, Moore, and Kemp at WR and missing Gay and Sneed on the defense and playing five rookies on defense. [Reply]

They weren’t all that lucky.
Only one of those injuries you listed happened during the game, and that’s their WR3.
Most of the sports analysts from what I saw picked the Bengals to beat us before the game, knowing full well about their injuries on the offensive line and their CB.
I don’t think anybody would feel confident picking the Chiefs if you told them we’d play without Sneed, that we’d be down 4 WRs, that we’d lose Gay, and that Mahomes’ ankle would in fact limit his mobility to essentially one have-to-have-it scramble in the final seconds.
For all of those events to happen over the course of one game is lucky as hell if you’re a Bengal fan. Not to mention the fluke Mahomes fumble. Bengals were very fortunate and still lost. [Reply]

If Joe Burrow and that team are as good as so many national talking heads said they were, they should have won fairly easily.
Plus a bizarre fumble when Pat was driving to go up 2 scores early in the fourth. Felt like the Huntley play with Hubbard recovering. Looked like they had the horseshoe again. [Reply]

The Bengals have been the luckiest team in the league for two years running. The Huntley fumble turned TD epitomized the luck they’ve experienced. Which continued throughout most of the KC game (Toney’s TD ball barely touching the ground, a TD wiped off the board, Mahomes’ fluke fumble, Chiefs losing all their receivers during the game and an important secondary piece).
They were lucky to even play in this game, and luckier to be tied late. [Reply]
Damn that view of the field goal is crazy. It maybe had 5 more yards.
Flashback to Nick Lowery coming up like a yard short in the Dave Szott phantom holding game. That will always be my most painful Chiefs loss. Nothing can top your first one. [Reply]
I want to give kudos to Mecole Hardman. He may not have got to do a lot in the game but what he did was catch a clutch first down on 3rd down sacrificing his pelvis and HANGING ONTO THE DAMN BALL. Also we move the ball pretty well when he is on the field weather he gets the ball or not. Teams have to account for him. So I hope he's good to go SB Sunday we need all hands on deck. [Reply]

Just thought it was funny that they have a Kelce thread; they're not even in our division.
Every AFC-W forum has some version of an "I hate Kelce thread," and PatsPlanet has one as well, but it's kind of rare for a non-divisional message board to have a thread dedicated to a player they don't see that often.
