The finale on February 12 will mark the first time in history that both teams contesting the Super Bowl will start Black quarterbacks. Kansas City kicker Harrison Butker knocked down the 45-yard field goal to send the Chiefs back to the Super Bowl for the third time in four seasons. On third down, Mahomes scrambled and as he went out of bounds, Bengals defensive end Joseph Ossai pushed him and was called for a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty which put the Chiefs in field goal range. Chiefs returner Skyy Moore returned the Bengals punt 29 yards to set the offense up with good field position. The Chiefs sacked Burrow on third down to give them the ball back with less than a minute left and the score tied at 20. Two plays later, the Bengals scored on a 2-yard touchdown run by running back Samaje Perine to tie the game yet again. On fourth down, Burrow heaved the ball down the field and found Ja’Marr Chase for a 35-yard strike to move Cincinnati deep into Kansas City territory. The Chiefs defensive unit shut down the high-powered Bengals offense until the first play of the fourth quarter. However, a clearly hobbled Mahomes and the Chiefs responded with a laser touchdown throw to Marquez Valdes-Scantling to take the lead right back. On the Bengals’ first offensive possession of the second half, quarterback Joe Burrow found wide receiver Tee Higgins for a 27-yard touchdown to tie up the game at 13.
