Watch Bengals vs Chiefs live stream: game preview
The 2023 AFC Championship game is an exact rematch of last year's, as the Bengals travel to Kansas City to try and topple the Chiefs once again. Last year's game went into overtime – this year's should be another close-run thing.
It's Groundhog Day, as once again the Chiefs host the Cincinnati Bengals in the battle for the AFC Championship. Last year's clash saw the Bengals triumph 27-24 in overtime – the Chiefs have now lost the last three games against the Bengals, including last year's AFC Championship game. Can Kansas City use their home advantage to finally turn the tables on the Ohio franhise?
This is the first AFC Championship game rematch in back-to-back seasons since the Ravens-Patriots in 2011/12, so it will truly be a historic match-up. Joe Burrow's side thrashed the Bills 27-10 last weekend, whereas Kansas City's 27-20 victory over the Jaguars was a much harder-fought affair, so the momentum is all the Bengals'.
Chiefs' star quarterback Patrick Mahomes picked up an ankle injury during the Jaguars clash, though he's reportedly "on track" after participating in the team practice on Thursday. Even Cincinnati fans will be hoping he plays, as his match-up with Burrow is sure to be one of the game's highlights. Mahomes is the more experienced of the two, with five straight AFC title bids and two Super Bowl appearances to his name. But will his ankle injury limit his mobility?
Only a fool would write off Burrow. He has emerged victorious in the teams' last three encounters, remember, and his decision-making come crunch time is peerless. Whichever way this one swings, one thing's for certain: Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium is going to host one heck of a showdown. And you can live stream it from wherever you are in the world by following our guide.
