Not to take anything away from Cincinnati but i thought the Chiefs played the 2nd half like they game was already won. Like they could just turn it on if they needed to but as the Bengals started pulling it closer and closer, the Chiefs just couldnt make any plays. I don't think Hill had a catch 2nd half and that drive at the end of the 4th, acted like a TD was inevitable but lucky they even got to kick a FG.

Agreed and generally it’s hard to make rest of game predictions based on pretending something going the other way in the first half but had they taken the 3 at the half I don’t think the Bengals would have gotten to overtime.  That pass simply can’t be out in the flat.  Have to either play it smart and take the 3 points or quick pass in the end zone.
