Kicker Evan McPherson booted a 20-yard field goal as time expired and the Bengals (10-6) – champions of the AFC North – clinched a playoff berth for the first time since 2015.

With the game tied at 31 apiece, the Bengals went for it on fourth-and-inches with under one minute to go in the game. Burrow threw an incomplete pass in the end zone, however, Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed was called for illegal use of hands, and it gave the Bengals a new set of downs.

After two kneel-downs, McPherson came onto the field and nailed the game-winner.

The Chiefs (11-5) led by two touchdowns three separate times in the first half. At the midway mark, Kansas City held a 28-17 lead, but the second half belonged to Burrow and the Bengals.

Despite being sacked four times and hit at least six more times, Burrow and Chase connected on every level in this matchup. Burrow found Chase for a 69-yard touchdown strike early in the second half to cut the Chiefs’ lead to 28-24. After Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker booted a 34-yard field, Burrow capped an 86-yard drive when he connected with Tyler Boyd for a 5-yard score.
