5 NFL teams that can knock off the Kansas City Chiefs in 2023

4. Cincinnati Bengals

For the past two seasons, the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs have met in the AFC Championship Game. Each contest was exciting and had just three points separating the two teams.

To make it to Super Bowl LVI, the Bengals were able to defeat Kansas City by a score of 27-24 in overtime. The Bengals fought back from a 21-10 halftime deficit in that one as they upset the defending AFC Champions.

This past season, they met again, and now, the Chiefs walked away with a narrow win. A hard-fought game once again came down to a field goal as Harrison Butker kicked it in from 45 yards out to upset the Bengals, 23-20.

While Joe Burrow has been a nightmare for opposing teams to deal with, he didn’t have his best game as he completed 26-of-41 attempts for 270 yards with a touchdown and two picks. Of course, he was under duress the entire game and was sacked five times — while avoiding many more.

Even with the offensive line playing so poorly, Burrow has led Cincy to a lot of huge wins already. As long as he’s suited up, they have a chance to beat anyone — and if they can ever learn to block for him, they can be really dangerous.
