The Cincinnati Bengals have struggled in their opening games in the Joe Burrow era. That could somewhat explain their embarrassing Week 1 loss. But when travelling to face the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, it is an entirely different ballgame. This Chiefs vs. Bengals matchup of Sunday Night Football is set to renew Burrow’s rivalry with Patrick Mahomes.
The superstar Bengals quarterback is not yet 100% as was evident from his week 1 issues. To add to that, a few of his starters are out. When compared to an almost fully healthy and upgraded Chiefs, they have an uphill task. But that fire inside them has helped them beat the Chiefs in their last few outings. Joe Burrow is still the most intriguing quarterback in the NFL not having a Mahomes surname.
That makes this matchup a must-watch. Both teams will be looking to take that win and focus on the next. For the Chiefs, it will add to their Week 1 win. For the Bengals, it will be a matter of regaining pride. Their week 1 loss to the lowly New England Patriots was not the best way to start. The franchise has too much pride to allow that to define their season. That fire will ensure this matchup does not end up being lopsided.

Why can the Kansas City Chiefs win?
The Kansas City Chiefs have arguably one of the best squads in the NFL. Their combination of a ready-to-explode offense and a stingy defense is seldom seen, that too after winning their second straight Super Bowl. They will look to use those advantages to take this win against the Bengals and move on to their next matchup.
In short, other than missing Marquise Brown, the franchise does not have any question marks. Star-tight end Travis Kelce will look to bounce back and have a good game. His usual proving grounds is between the hashes, an area where the Bengals might struggle to contain with the attention on all the other offensive pieces. The defense should also have a good day with some offensive starters out.
Why can the Cincinnati Bengals win?
There is a reason all betting programs have the Cincinnati Bengals losing this matchup. They have too many important players on offense banged up, and Joe Burrow did not look 100% last week. Concerning for a franchise looking to fight for a Super Bowl. But all those problems aside, the team looked like it was getting some rhythm going in the latter half of their week 1 loss.
If they continue to play with that rhythm, there is a chance they could spring a surprise or two. If their defense continues to play in their stifling ways, the franchise could go back home with a famous and important upset.
