Chiefs Defeat Bengals, 26-25, in Last-Minute Thriller

It was part of a tremendous game for Conner, who later sacked Burrow on third down late in the fourth quarter. The play forced the Bengals, who tallied a go-ahead field goal immediately after Conner’s touchdown, to punt the ball away with just two minutes and 35 seconds left in the game.

The Chiefs soon found themselves in a long fourth down situation on their ensuing possession, but a pass interference call extended the drive and set Butker up with a potential game-winning, 51-yard field goal attempt. Butker came through, and following a wild game that featured a slew of momentum swings throughout the contest, Kansas City emerged with the win.

It was another example of the Chiefs’ trademark resiliency under Mahomes, who matched Tom Brady and Roger Staubach for the most quarterback wins (76) through 100 career starts in NFL history on Sunday.

“Until the time hits zero, I feel like there’s a chance that [we] can win the football game,” Mahomes said. “Obviously, we’ve done that in so many different ways, so we’re prepared. We come in with that mentality that if we get the football with the chance to win the game, we’re going to do it, and we were able to do that today.”

In terms of injuries, running back Isiah Pacheco was the only player to leave the game early for Kansas City. Reid provided a brief update on Pacheco’s status following the victory.

“We’ll just have to see. He’s having some tests done on it now – X-rays and all that stuff,” Reid said. “I don’t have anything for you on what exactly it is, but he came out with an ankle [injury].”

The Chiefs will now turn the page to a matchup with the Atlanta Falcons next weekend on Sunday Night Football.
