The Cincinnati Bengals are leading the Kansas City Chiefs 16-10 at halftime in a crucial game following a disappointing Week 1 loss. Star receiver Tee Higgins is absent due to a hamstring injury. Quarterback Joe Burrow has made key plays, including a touchdown pass to Andrei Iosivas and a critical fourth-down conversion to Mike Gesicki. The Bengals' defense has been effective, forcing turnovers and preventing the Chiefs from scoring touchdowns despite their drives into the red zone. This game is particularly important as both teams seek to improve to 1-1 after each faced setbacks in their opening games. Historically, Burrow has performed well against the Chiefs, holding a 3-1 advantage in their matchups.
