It’s been a long week for the Cincinnati Bengals, who stumbled out of the gate last week in their season opener against the New England Patriots. Daytime arch-rivals Kansas City Chiefs will be hoping for their first win of the season. Follow all the action throughout the game with the WLWT sports team on Night Football next week, as they do something they haven’t done since 2018: win in Week 2. On Sunday, the Bengals will be hampered once again with Dee Higgins and 2024 first-round draft pick Amarius Mims inactive. They are both working to recover from injuries. Bengals tight end Kris Jenkins, who was not selected in the second round, also missed last week’s game. Cincinnati’s passing offense struggled without Higgins in Week 1. Joe Burrow threw for just 164 yards — his fewest in a full game since throwing for 165 yards at Tennessee last year — and only one individual receiver recorded more than 50 yards (Ja’Mar Chase, 62 on six receptions). If the Bengals hope to do better offensively this week, the Chiefs allowed 267 yards to the Baltimore offense without a true number one receiver, and backup tight end Isaiah may have done more damage against Kansas City (nine catches, 111 yards). The Chiefs got off to a winning start to their season, but they were a long way from entering Sunday with an 0-1 record. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m.
