Week 18 did not exactly go as planned for the Kansas City Chiefs or Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals took care of business by picking up a crucial win over the Pittsburgh Steelers but the Denver Broncos’ 38-0 shutout win over the Chiefs meant the Bengals had to miss the playoffs despite a late surge in the second half of the season.
The Chiefs rested a number of starters in Week 18 including Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Isiah Pacheco. When they were shut out by the Broncos with Carson Wentz under center, the Chiefs were accused of conspiring to keep Joe Burrow’s Bengals out of the playoffs, given Burrow is 3-2 against the Chiefs in his career.
Kelce came out all guns blazing against those accusations on this week’s episode of his New Heights podcast.
