For the Bengals, it's on to 'Burrowhead' Stadium
The Cincinnati Bengals stewed over tickets sold for a possible neutral-site Bills-Chiefs game in Atlanta for the AFC title. Nobody is heading there for that game because the Bengals destroyed the Bills in a divisional-round playoff game.
According to Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton, nobody is heading to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City for the AFC Championship Game on Sunday either.
That's because Hilton refers to Kansas City's stadium as "Burrowhead," a reference to Cincinnati's quarterback, Joe Burrow.
Arrowhead...err..."Burrowhead" is where the Bengals beat the Chiefs last season for the AFC title. In that 27-24 Cincinnati win, Burrow went 23-for-38 for 250 yards and threw two touchdown passes.
Burrow, who is 3-0 against the Chiefs, has only played in Kansas City once in his career. Per TSN, Burrow is the only QB to beat Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes in three straight games.
It's obvious the Bengals' secondary is confident heading into the showdown against Mahomes, who is nursing a high ankle sprain.
One day after Cincinnati's win over Buffalo, Bengals rookie cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt said he was confident he'd intercept Mahomes. Against Buffalo, Taylor-Britt picked off Josh Allen.
So far this week, no bulletin-board material has filtered from Kansas City, but stay tuned.
