Given the freshness and viciousness of the budding rivalry, reactions tend to flow when the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs get together.
Buy Bengals TicketsCase in point, the Week 13 aftermath of the Bengals’ 27-24 win.
This game featured some personal fouls and taunting penalties and even a fake injury after the week leading up to the game featured plenty of trash talk from both sides.
Like last year, there’s a feeling exiting the game that the two teams could always see each other again later. But for now, we’ll have to settle for looking at some of the best reactions from the game.
Not that this is a brilliant observation, but the Bengals are showing the absolute hell you can rain on a defense when you have two legitimate No. 1 receivers.

The Chiefs' defense talked a TON throughout the week, and then gave up 431 yards, 27 points and forced one punt

KC shut out after the Mahomes jump man TD.

Joe Burrow is just a tremendous football player.
The ice in his veins to deliver that strike to Higgins on 3rd & 11 to close out the third win over KC in the calendar year.

FINAL: #Bengals 27, Chiefs 24.
Three wins over the Chiefs in a calendar year. All by three points.
Joe Burrow and the Bengals would like to remind the rest of the league who was in the Super Bowl last year.
Eyes square on the No. 1 seed now.

Joe Burrow could’ve made a Skyline 5-way in the pocket today.
The Bengals OL was simply amazing.

The Bengals are for real.
3 straight wins against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs

Statement win for the Bengals. Beat the Chiefs three straight times in the same calendar year.
— Tyler Dragon (@TheTylerDragon) December 5, 2022
Bengals had everything go wrong for a huge stretch.
Still found a way to beat a really good team that they will likely see again.
It can not be understated how different this Era has been so much different than anything Cincinnati has seen in the last 30 years.

If you don’t have Joe B as the MVP. You’re wrong.
