The Kansas City Chiefs narrowly defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 26-25, thanks to a last-second 51-yard field goal by Harrison Butker. This victory was marked by controversy, particularly a defensive pass interference call against Bengals safety Daijahn Anthony that extended the Chiefs' final drive. Patrick Mahomes, despite an underwhelming performance with 151 passing yards and two interceptions, set the stage for Butker's game-winning kick. Critics argue that refereeing decisions favored the Chiefs, affecting the game's outcome. The Bengals, who led at halftime and outperformed the Chiefs in several metrics, struggled to close the game. The loss has put pressure on Bengals QB Joe Burrow, who is under scrutiny after an 0-2 season start post-injury recovery.
