The Chiefs and Bengals will fight for a spot in Super Bowl 57 when Kansas City welcomes Cincinnati to Arrowhead on Sunday. The Chiefs’ star quarterback is leaving little doubt in his availability for the marquee matchup. Patrick Mahomes spoke to the media and said he’s “ready to go.” The QB suffered a high ankle sprain during the team’s Divisional Round playoff win over the Jaguars last weekend. Mahomes returned in the second half and led the Chiefs to a 27-20 victory. Meanwhile, the Bengals are coming off a 27-10 win over the Bills last weekend. Joe Mixon shredded the Buffalo defense for 105 rushing yards and a touchdown while averaging over five yards per carry. However, KC ranks in the top-10 in run defense which could put more pressure on Joe Burrow to execute through the air. Kickoff is 5:30
