The Cincinnati Bengals have been on a tear as of late.
Not only has the team won two straight playoff games, but they are entering the AFC Championship on a nine-game win streak.
Joe Burrow and the Bengals are firing on all cylinders, and they should prove to be a difficult test for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
There will be extra motivation on the Bengals’ minds this week, as they look to continue another impressive streak.

As an organization, the Bengals haven’t had great success from a historical standpoint.
Burrow has taken them from worst to first in their division, and they look to be a yearly contender to win the AFC under his leadership.
Despite the organization’s lack of success, the Bengals are 3-0 in the AFC Championship all-time.
With a win this weekend, not only would the Bengals move to 4-0 in their AFC Championship appearances, but Burrow will also move to 4-0 against Mahomes and the Chiefs as well.
For whatever reason, Mahomes has been able to beat almost every other team in the NFL, except for Burrow and the Bengals.
Will that change on Sunday?
Mahomes is currently suffering from a high ankle sprain, and while he contends that he will be able to play, it’s difficult to believe that Mahomes will be able to play as he typically does.
Look for the Bengals to take advantage of any misstep by Mahomes, as their offense is opportunistic, and their defense has been hungry for turnovers.
