The Chiefs did it again. Kansas City will play in the AFC Championship game for a record fifth straight year. The achievement is impressive considering they are the first team in NFL history to host five consecutive games for the AFC title. However, all their hopes to reach the Super Bowl depend on that injured ankle of quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Meanwhile, the Bengals are on a mission. After the NFL rule changes, when they weren’t allowed to fight for the No.1 or No.2 seed in the AFC, Cincinnati wanted to spoil a potential Chiefs-Bills meeting on a neutral site. Now, the Bengals are trying to reach the Super Bowl for a second straight season. This a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship game when Cincinnati beat the Chiefs 27-24 in overtime at Arrowhead Stadium.

So, Chiefs and Bengals meet again to fight for the AFC title and clinch a ticket to the Super Bowl. Read here to find out what happens if Kansas City lose to Cincinnati in the AFC Championship game.

Super Bowl LVII is scheduled to be played on Sunday, February 12 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Of the four teams which are still alive in the NFL playoffs, the Bengals are the only one without a Super Bowl victory. Joe Burrow might be the man to change history.
