After Jerick McKinnon gained 1 yard to the Cincinnati 4 on first down with 1:26 remaining, the Bengals called their first timeout. Sam Hubbard sacked Patrick Mahomes for a 5-yard loss on second down after Mahomes ran around, burning time.
On third-and-goal from the 9, Mahomes ran all around before Hubbard sacked him again. Mahomes fumbled but recovered to set up the field goal.
Butker’s field goal was the only points scored by the Chiefs in the second half. Kansas City led 21-10 at halftime after the Bengals tackled Tyreek Hill at the 1-yard line with no time left in the first half.
