With a score of 34-31, the Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Kansas City Chiefs. Unless, of course, you’re a Chiefs fan, that was a fun game of football. Throughout the game, the Refs penalized Kansas City 10 times for 83 yards. L’Jarius Sneed, the cornerback, was called for a penalty in the last minutes of the game.

During the fourth down, they flagged him for illegal use of hands. Cincinnati now has a fresh set of downs. They took advantage of the opportunity to take it home. For the Bengals, rookie Evan McPherson kicked the game-winning field goal.

After the game, the reporters asked the Chiefs’ head coach, Andy Reid, about the penalties. He said, “I’d like to comment on each one, but I don’t want to be fined.” According to the Chiefs, most of those calls were bogus. 

Even though Kansa has already booked a place in the playoffs, this loss hurt the fans. This defeat broke the Chiefs’ eight-game winning streak. Despite the efforts of Patrick Mahomes, they could not keep the streak alive.
