Late field goal helps Kansas City Chiefs escape Cincinnati Bengals 26-25
The Kansas City Chiefs needed a late penalty and a 51-yard field goal from Harrison Butker to scrape past the Cincinnati Bengals 26-25.
Cincinnati appeared to be on top of the reigning Super Bowl champions when Evan McPherson converted a 53-yard field goal attempt to give the visitors a two-point lead with just over nine minutes remaining.
The Bengals’ defence had the victory all but wrapped up in the final minute when they forced the fearsome Chiefs’ offence to punt, but a penalty on safety Daijahn Anthony kept Kansas City’s window open just enough for Butker to resign Cincinnati to a 0-2 start to the season.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a mixed outing with two touchdowns and two interceptions, while Joe Burrow threw for two touchdowns and 258 yards.
THANK YOU HARRISON BUTKER
