Bengals vs Chiefs live stream: How to watch AFC Championship game online today

Today's Bengals vs Chiefs live stream once against captures Joe Burrow taking on Patrick Mahomes in the AFC championship game! Last season it was the Bengals leaving Arrowhead with a 27-24 win in overtime on an Evan McPherson 31-yard field goal. This time around Mahomes and the Chiefs are hoping this NFL live stream ends with much happier fans in Kansas City.

Cincinnati (12-4) shrugged off a 2-3 start to the season and went on a roll. They did away with any thought of a Super Bowl hangover by going on a 12-1 run from mid-October to now. Quarterback Joe Burrow was again among the league leaders in passing yards (4,475), touchdowns (35) and rating (100.8). Wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both enjoyed 1,000-yard seasons thanks to the Bengals’ production. Chase doing so despite only playing in 12 games due to a hip injury.

The Bengals were on point last week in their 27-10 divisional round win in snowy Buffalo. Burrow threw for 242 yards and two scores on 23-of-36 passing, while running back Joe Mixon racked up 105 yards on the ground and a touchdown. The weather and the Bengals defense also did a great job keeping the Bills offense from hitting their stride. Running back Devin Singletary led Buffalo with just 62 yards from scrimmage.

The Chiefs (14-3), owners of the top spot in the AFC are coming off a gutsy 27-20 win over Jacksonville last week. Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain in the first quarter against the Jags and missed most of the second quarter. Mahomes was x-rayed at halftime and once the Chiefs saw they came back negative, they put their franchise QB back out there where he led K.C. on two scoring drives to help secure the win.

While Chiefs fans have enjoyed the play of their quarterback, they have also enjoyed their defense bringing down other QBs. This season the have sacked the opposing quarterback 55 times, second most in the NFL only to the Eagles (70). Defensive tackle Chris Jones lead the team with 15.5 sacks on the season. He’ll be eager to get after Burrow in this game as the Cinci signal caller is was brought down 41 times this year, sixth most in the league.

Wednesday it was announced that Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes are both finalists for the 2022 NFL MVP award. For Mahomes it would mark the second of his career.  

According to the Action Network the Chiefs are 1.5-point favorites against the Bengals. These teams did face each other this season. Cinci won that game by the same score as last year’s AFC Championship game, 27-24.
