The Kansas City Chiefs secured their first win of the season in Week 1, and are set to face the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend at Arrowhead Stadium.
Though the Chiefs are riding high after their victory over the Baltimore Ravens last Thursday, the Bengals have proven that they can match Kansas City’s offensive firepower in the past with star quarterback Joe Burrow under center.
Cincinnati will have a chip on its shoulder heading into Week 2 after taking a brutal loss to the upstart New England Patriots on Sunday to kick off their 2024 campaign.
Most teams looked a bit off-balance this weekend, which is to be expected after the NFL’s three-game preseason. But, in our estimation, the Chiefs managed to put together the most complete outing of any team in Week 1, and easily took the top spot in our power rankings.
With the suspense out of the way, check out where the lowly Bengals stand after their crushing defeat at the hands of the Patriots, and enjoy these pictures of Chiefs legends sacking quarterbacks from every team in the NFL:
