Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Patrick Mahomes (ankle) will do everything in practice Wednesday. Reid even noted that he may need to hold Mahomes back for his own good at times. The Chiefs could ultimately list him as a limited participant on their practice report. It sounds like Mahomes' high-ankle sprain won't be a major issue in the AFC Championship, though it's fair to say it will still limit his mobility in some capacity. Still, a practice, either limited or full, to start the week is a great outcome for Mahomes and the Chiefs.

WATCH: The Bengals are referring to Arrowhead as ‘Burrowhead’ ahead of AFC Title https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2023/1/24/23569466/watch-the-bengals-are-referring-to-arrowhead-as-burrowhead-ahead-of-afc-title

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said that Patrick Mahomes (ankle) is "gonna play" in the AFC Championship Game against the Bengals. Reid went on to say that the high-ankle sprain Mahomes suffered "isn't as bad" as the one he had in 2019 that he played through. Knowing exactly how much Mahomes will be limited after he rests the ankle for a few days is probably the key to figuring out the conference championship slate for DFS purposes, but it doesn't seem like there's much doubt at this point that he'll give it a go against the Bengals.

So we are baking KC AFCCG game goodies, fudge, cake, cupcakes and cookies. We are marinating our KC BBCUE. We are getting our RED DRAFT Brewed. ITS the AFCCG for goodness sakes. Plan a party. Win or lose this is a great day. WE will enjoy this game all week. Start the slow cooking early Sunday morning. PARTY TIME! GO CHIEFS! I learned a long time ago to not have a SB or Bust approach. The other teams are good too.

Enjoy the ride. Its supposed to be fun and entertaining. These are Chiefs fans best days. These are the best of times. GAME ON. Why pay attention to that crap? Its a choice.

Yes and 40 was on one run and Henne was in. The Chiefs did WIN. KC will likley run it a bit more with the injury but you dont take the ball out of the MVPs hands and turn Kelce into a spectator. KC will go with what has got them here. Adjust some yes.

They win 80% of the games including playoffs. They are not stupid. Other teams are also good at changing schemes. Assuming the Chiefs running game will automatically work is well you know what they say about ASSUMPTIONS. It comes down to who makes plays and who does not. Chiefs will be well prepared and coached.

Does not matter. The plan used against the Niners may be the approach. I think Reid has a better feel for things that armchair experts.

Exactly what the F do the talking heads know? Its just fake news and BS. They need headlines. Reid will have a plan and adjust accordingly. It may not work. I dont blame coaches for poor execution. Sometimes the other team simply makes plays too.

Yes but thats not really play action. Its usually under center, fake the handoff and roll out.

Does play action require the QB to run more? Yes. So I dont think we will see a lot of that.

Wont happen. You have the best weapons in the AFC. You dont put all those weapons on hold. Wont happen. I trust Reid will have a fantastic game plan. I dont fret over things I do not control.

Every down if needed? KC will still play their game based on situations and results. Mahomes can and will get the ball out fast. Lots of options for Reid to use. May run it a little more if it is working. If you want to be run focused then start Henne.

Dont Need ? Dont Need ? Dont Need ? JUST Play a GOOD game? Just sounds easy. Good sounds easy. Chiefs will NEED to play a great game and get a break or two to win. Cinn will NEED to play a great game and get a couple of breaks to win.

To win KC needs to score 14+ in the second after scoring 14+ in the first half. 30 should do it. Mahomes admitted he choked the the second half of the AFCCG last season. He wont this time! Defense has played well most of the season. KC 30 Cinn 24

Why care about this? Players on both teams should relish this opportunity. Both teams and QBs deserve to be champions but only one will. Reading online fan posting is not healthy and does not represent the fan base. Yes I too suffer from this disease. LOL

Maybe the kick was just short? No guarantee every kick goes as anticipated.

Yes. I dont think any doctor has stated it is a high ankle sprain. Thats the media assumption.

These facts dont clarify my question. You simply showed both teams have issues and are beatable. KC must be tired of losing three straight times to Cinn. Divisional or Championship are both HARD to WIN. Both teams will say "if we play our game we cant be beat". Both fan bases will say " the only way we lose if if we beat ourselves". BLAH BLAH BLAH Both teams are worthy of a CHampionship but only one will win. Its KCs turn. Hard to beat any NFL team 4 straight.

Same for Cinn. They will need to play a near perfect game. Every team has issues. Cinn caught Buff on their off day, Should be a great game. Can Cinn beat KC 4 times in a row?

Sure.Its the same points for Cinn. Thats the case every week in this NFL. Cinn will be a difficult win for KC and KC will be a difficult win for Cinn. Its the AFCCG game. Last team with the ball wins.

Or they may be the team that almost lost to RAVENS third string QB last week? They were lucky to win getting that 99yard fumble return 14 point switch.

I do not like the Bills. I have enjoyed following their forum thread. Oh the horror. HaHAHA..Of course like most of us when we lose they want everyone fired and Allen is a this and a that. LOL

ok
