What a fantastic game the AFC Championship finale turned out to be. The Kansas City Chiefs were all over Cincinnati Bengals in the first half. They were dominating the proceedings and the Bengals were looking a little out of sorts. However, they scripted a fantastic comeback in the third quarter.

The Bengals scored as many as 11 points in the third quarter and after trailing by 18 points at one stage, they managed to tie the game before the time ran out. The game went into overtime and it felt like Mahomes and Co will yet again end up winning as they won the coin flip.
