Chiefs vs. Bengals to Take Place on New Year’s Eve in Kansas City

The game is expected to have playoff implications.

One of the league’s biggest rivalries has developed between AFC stalwarts the Chiefs and the Bengals over the last few seasons.

Between wild regular-season matchups and pivotal playoff games, the two teams, led by respective star quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow, have played plenty of meaningful games while shattering television ratings in the process.

The NFL must’ve had this in mind when it scheduled Cincinnati and Kansas City in a prime slot for next season’s regular-season meeting, as the two teams will square off at Arrowhead Stadium at 4:25 p.m. ET on New Year’s Eve in Week 17.
