Excitement ramping up for AFC Championship Game in Kansas City

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - The Kansas City Chiefs face a familiar foe next Sunday in the team’s fifth consecutive AFC Championship Game. Last season, the Cincinnati Bengals shocked football fans around the world with the upset win over Kansas City in the AFC Championship at Arrowhead Stadium. Counting a regular season win in Cincinnati last year and a regular season victory in Cincinnati this year, the Bengals have beaten the Chiefs three consecutive times. In Sunday’s return to Arrowhead, the Chiefs hope to get over that orange and black roadblock and advance to their third Super Bowl in four seasons.

After outplaying the favored Buffalo Bills on the road Sunday, the Bengals are again coming into Arrowhead hot. The Chiefs, the AFC’s top seed, say they’re looking forward to the rematch.
