The Bengals had a less-than-encouraging start to the season, suffering a Week 1 loss to the Patriots. This marks the third consecutive season they’ve started 0-1 under Zac Taylor, though they’ve posted winning seasons the two previous years. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are still the Chiefs. Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy emerged with a two-TD game in the opener, and it looks like he’ll make a big impact this season. These two teams are familiar foes, and it’s always a tough fight.

NFL Pro Insight:  

Joe Burrow has been effective against the blitz in his career posting the ninth-highest success rate among quarterbacks with at least 100+ passes against the blitz over the last four seasons. Additionally, Burrow has shown a propensity to get the ball out quickly to his receivers downfield as he has the fifth-fastest time to throw (2.47 seconds) and the eighth-highest air yards per attempt (9.1) among those quarterbacks.  

The Chiefs meanwhile blitzed at the fifth-highest rate last season (35%), but they tend to hold back when facing Burrow as they blitzed below their season average over their last four matchups with Burrow (20% blitz rate). In those four matchups, they have allowed 9.2 yards per attempt when blitzing.
