The Cincinnati Bengals are currently taking on the Kansas City Chiefs in a very competitive Week 17 matchup. Both teams are at the top of their conference and are two of arguably the best offenses in all of football. The Bengals are currently down 21-14 but have looked very good on offense so far.

With the recent touchdown pass to Ja'Marr Chase, Joe Burrow now holds the team record for most single-season passing yards in Bengals franchise history. He has over 4,200 yards and has been very impressive in his second season.

He has been sensational to start this game off against the Chiefs in a must-win game. He is currently 10-11 for 160 yards and two touchdowns. Chase currently has 111 receiving yards already through only two quarters on only five receptions for two touchdowns. Chase has been incredible this season and plenty of the success that he is seeing is because of just how good Joe Burrow really is.

This is a game that the Bengals are going to want to win because they are still not locked into the playoffs. With this win, they could win the AFC North. They would still need a Baltimore Ravens loss, but a win would certainly help their chances of winning the division.

Considering how young the Bengals are, this would be a very impressive win and will give them a lot of confidence for the future of this organization if they can make the playoffs and potentially even make a deep run once they are there.
