Expand All

Since Patrick Mahomes became a starter in the NFL, two teams have defeated him twice in one season.

The first was the New England Patriots in 2018. The next was the Cincinnati Bengals last year. Both times, the second losses came in the AFC Championship Game, and both went to overtime,

But there was something different about the Chiefs’ second loss to the Bengals. The Chiefs were in control of that game in the first half, only to fall apart after the break. Mahomes played his worst half in a Chiefs uniform.

We’ll see if that outcome motivates the Chiefs on Sunday when they travel to Cincinnati in a game with major playoff implications.

On today’s episode of The Star’s SportsBeat KC podcast, beat writers Herbie Teope and Jesse Newell and columnist Vahe Gregorian break down Chiefs-Bengals matchup and discuss the Chiefs’ running back situation, among other topics. The show started as a SportsBeat Live broadcast Thursday morning.
