The officiating from Sunday’s AFC title game is under serious scrutiny.
The Chiefs advanced to their third Super Bowl in four seasons with a 23–20 victory over the Bengals in Sunday’s AFC championship.
Kansas City scratched and clawed, but could never quite put away Cincinnati for good. The Bengals continued to hang around in the second half behind a hard-nosed defensive effort and some timely plays through the air courtesy of star quarterback Joe Burrow.

The critical penalty came in the closing moments of Sunday’s AFC championship game.
NFL fans and pundits erupted in debate Sunday night following a critical penalty on Bengals defensive end Joseph Ossai for a hit on quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the closing moments of the Chiefs’ AFC championship victory.

The MMQB’s game balls go to a big-time linebacker who knocked out two 49ers quarterbacks and a rookie who set up the game-winning kick for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs’ Travis Kelce and Eagles’ Jason Kelce will become the first sibling players to face each other in a Super Bowl.
On Sunday afternoon, we were treated to commercials for a movie featuring two brothers, one in red clothing and the other in green, and were promised a release date of April 7.
