KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Almost a year to the day after the Cincinnati Bengals sent the Kansas City Chiefs home in overtime of last season’s AFC Championship Game, the Chiefs got their revenge. Playing through a high ankle sprain, quarterback Patrick Mahomes snapped Joe Burrow and the Bengals’ streak of three straight wins over Kansas City.
Harrison Butker sent the Chiefs to the Super Bowl with a 45-yard field goal to win 23-20 Sunday night. It is the Chiefs’ third Super Bowl berth in four seasons. They’ll face Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Mahomes had a message for Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton, who nicknamed the Chiefs’ home stadium “Burrowhead” after the Bengals’ divisional round win over the Buffalo Bills.
“We showed this place is Arrowhead, it’s not ‘Burrowhead’ out here,” Mahomes said after the win.
Kansas City Chiefs
Mahomes added another significant chapter to his legacy on Sunday night at Arrowhead Stadium.
One week after suffering a high ankle sprain and hobbling around in the second half of the divisional round playoff win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Mahomes guided the Chiefs into the Super Bowl for the third time in four seasons. The Chiefs will play the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII after their win in the AFC Championship Game.
The Chiefs won on Harrison Butker’s 45-yard field goal with three seconds remaining. Mahomes completed 1-of-2 passes for 6 yards on the drive and scrambled for 9 yards leading to the field goal. He finished 29-of-43 for 326 yards and two touchdowns.
Not buying Valdes-Scantling’s breakout performance: Marquez Valdes-Scantling made some big catches for the Chiefs and finished with six receptions and 116 yards and a touchdown. He had similar games for the Chiefs this season but not enough of them. Most often, he’s just not going to be a high volume receiver for the Chiefs but one who delivers the occasional big play.
Promising trend: The Chiefs have reason to feel good about what they accomplished on defense. They pressured Burrow for much of the game and wound up with five sacks. They had two interceptions, something they managed just once in their three games against Burrow and the Bengals. They also made Cincinnati kick field goals twice while in the red zone.
Under-the-radar stats that matters: The Chiefs by the end of the game were playing without four of their top six wide receivers because of injuries or illness. JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee), Mecole Hardman (pelvis) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) were injured during the game. Justin Watson (illness) did not suit up. That left them with Valdes-Scantling, rookie Skyy Moore and a player called up from the practice squad on Saturday. — Teicher

Ja’Marr Chase’s gutsy catch on 4th down sets up Bengals’ TD
Ja’Marr Chase makes an unreal grab on fourth-and-6 that sets up Samaje Perine for a short Bengals touchdown.
Cincinnati Bengals
The streaks had to end eventually.
The Chiefs finally bested the Bengals in a 23-20 win in the AFC championship game. The Bengals couldn’t make it four straight wins over their conference rivals and finished the season on a loss after winning 10 straight games.
It was another classic game between the teams that came down to the end and featured big momentum swings. Cincinnati came close to another comeback win, but ultimately couldn’t keep Mahomes and Kansas City from ending their winning stretch in an enthralling series.
Buying Higgins’ breakout performance: Don’t sleep on Tee Higgins as a top receiving option. When the Bengals needed a completion in critical times on Sunday, Higgins was there. That was evident in the third quarter, when he went up and caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from Burrow to tie the game at 13. He used his frame and ball skills to snag a jump ball that Burrow weighted well down the sideline. Cincinnati will have to make several contract decisions on key players in upcoming offseasons. Higgins is eligible for an extension this year and showed why he is worthy of being paid like a top receiver.
Biggest hole in the gameplan: Cincinnati struggled to keep Mahomes contained even though he was dealing with a sprained ankle. The Kansas City quarterback completed his first six passes outside of the pocket for 69 yards and a touchdown, per NFL Next Gen Stats. And when Mahomes had time to throw, he made the Bengals pay. Through three quarters, he was 13-of-19 passing for 198 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. He finished 29 of 43 for 326 yards and two touchdowns.
QB breakdown: Burrow had a mixed bag against Kansas City. He struggled early, with the biggest flub a first-half turnover on a throw to Higgins. But Burrow also had key plays in which he was able to move the offense and trusted his receivers in tight spots. That happened when Burrow found Higgins on a 27-yard touchdown pass on a third down in the third quarter and again when Ja’Marr Chase caught a 35-yard pass on fourth-and-6 when he was double-covered down the middle.
Describe the game in two words: Another classic. Cincinnati and Kansas City delivered in the fourth installment of this series in two seasons and produced another thriller in the AFC Championship Game. — Baby
Trey Lance has second ankle surgery, expected back for 49ers OTAs
Quarterback Trey Lance underwent surgery to remove hardware that was inserted into his right ankle during the initial surgery in September, the 49ers announced Saturday.
Lance is expected to make a full recovery from the Friday procedure, and return for organized team activities next offseason.
Because of the location of the fracture that Lance sustained during a Week 2 game against the Seattle Seahawks, the hardware placement was close to a tendon in Lance’s ankle. During his rehabilitation, the close proximity of the tendon proved to cause irritation in his ankle, the team said.
After consulting with multiple specialists, “the decision was made to have the hardware removed to prevent future issues in the ankle,” the team said.
Lance, the No. 3 overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, entered the season as the 49ers’ starting quarterback. He completed 15 of 31 passes for 194 yards and no touchdowns with one interception before suffering the injury.
Jimmy Garoppolo took over at quarterback for 10 games before a broken foot sidelined him for the remainder of the season. Now, the 49ers’ season with championship aspirations is in the hands of rookie Brock Purdy, the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft.

There’s plenty to speculate about the 49ers’ future at quarterback. It definitely will be a hot topic this offseason, especially if Purdy continues to play well. But for now, the 49ers hope Lance fully heals and Purdy properly uses his versatile offensive weapons in a deep playoff run.

Titans’ Ryan Tannehill (ankle) ‘very likely’ out for season
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Titans will “very likely” be without starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill for the remainder of the season due to a right ankle injury that is likely to require surgery, sources confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.
Tannehill suffered the injury Sunday, when Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Khalil Mack landed on his right foot on Tennessee’s first offensive drive.
Team trainers took Tannehill to the locker room on a cart. The quarterback missed only one offensive series and returned to the game with his right ankle heavily taped.
“We are never going to question his toughness or his willingness to get back and help us win,” coach Mike Vrabel said of Tannehill following the Titans’ 17-14 loss.
The injury was to the same ankle Tannehill injured in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite finishing that game, Tannehill missed the following two weeks, with backup QB Malik Willis starting in his place.
Willis took all of the first-team snaps in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Titans, who currently lead the AFC South at 7-7, also signed veteran quarterback Joshua Dobbs to the active roster on Wednesday.
With Tannehill unable to play, Dobbs would slide in as the backup with Willis as the starter.
The 7-7 Titans’ lead atop the AFC South, the division they’ve won the past two seasons, has dwindled to one with a four-game skid. They host the Texans (1-12-1) on Saturday — the same team Willis made his first NFL start against Oct. 30 in a 17-10 win. Tennessee closes the regular season at home against the Dallas Cowboys and on the road at Jacksonville.
Tannehill has thrown for 2,536 yards and 13 touchdowns with six interceptions this season. NFL reporter Paul Kuharsky was first to report him likely being done for the season.
Tennessee on Wednesday also placed offensive lineman Dillon Radunz on injured reserve because of a knee injury suffered in Sunday’s game against the Chargers.
