The Kansas City Chiefs took care of business in Week 1 of the 2024 regular season, staving off the Baltimore Ravens to move to 1-0 on the year. Three days later, the Cincinnati Bengals, the Chiefs' Week 2 opponent, couldn't move the football against the New England Patriots and fell 16-10 to start their 2024 campaign with a 0-1 record.
The Chiefs and Bengals have developed quite a rivalry since 2021, squaring off five times and the Chiefs going 2-3 in those games. Most people will point to the two AFC Championship Games that featured these two franchises facing each other, with the Bengals winning the first one and the Chiefs getting their revenge the following year.
While the Chiefs won their third Super Bowl in five years this past season, the Bengals finished dead last in their division. Placing fourth in the division for a team as talented as the Bengals could be dangerous, but they did not look like a team to be fearful of in Week 1.
That being said, Week 1 can be a fraud when it comes to trying to determine who the good teams are in the league and the Bengals have notoriously started their seasons slow. The Chiefs haven't played them this early since their rivalry began in 2021, so maybe K.C. will benefit from a Bengals team that doesn't have its stuff together yet.
How to watch Chiefs vs Bengals on TV
Despite this game being a key rivalry, it's not a primetime affair. It'll be in the late window of games on Sunday so Chiefs fans can kick back, relax, and enjoy the early slate of games before hunkering down to watch their team play.
CBS will be broadcasting the game and that means Chiefs fans can catch the game on KCTV5 while those in Wichita can view on KWCH.
