The Cincinnati Bengals will face the Chiefs in Kansas City next Sunday (Jan. 30) in the AFC Championship at 3:05 p.m. Eastern on CBS.
The Chiefs defeated the Bills in Kansas City, 42-36, on Sunday in Divisional Round action. The Bengals earned Saturday's 19-16 playoff win against the Titans in Nashville.
Logan Wilson's interception in the final minute helped set up Evan McPherson's game-winning field goal, lifting the Bengals to their first road playoff win in franchise history.
The Bengals rallied to beat the Chiefs, 34-31, on Jan. 2 to clinch the AFC North title.
The Bengals' last AFC Championship appearance came on Jan. 8, 1989, against the Bills. Cincinnati won to advance to the Super Bowl.

After losing at Cincinnati late in the year, Patrick Mahomes told Joey Burrow he would see him again in the playoffs. Word kept.

There never has been a weekend in NFL divisional playoff history in which all four road teams were victorious.

Tonight’s game of #Chiefs #Bills should honestly be the AFC Championship Game. No disrespect to the #Bengals because they have and will bring it next weekend.
But this game tonight in KC is the meeting of the best IMO.
