For the second year in a row, it's the Kansas City Chiefs versus the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship. With a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.

While Joe Burrow and company are on a three-game win streak against the Chiefs, early advantages are favoring the home team.

Before hand, there was a possibility that All-Pro TE Travis Kelce not playing. Clearing his medicals, not only is he going to play, but the Bengals will be without key players of their own.

Kansas City Chiefs Inactives:

• QB Shane Buechele
• DE Joshua Kaindoh
• OL Darian Kinnard
• TE Blake Bell
• WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette
• WR Justin Watson
• DE Malik Herring

Cincinnati Bengals Inactives:

• QB Jake Browning
• RB Chris Evans
• CB Jalen Davis
• OL Alex Cappa
• OL Jonah Wiliams
• DE Jeff Gunter
• DT Jay Tufele

Chiefs fans not seeing their true number one receiver in Kelce on this inactive list is great enough news.

Seeing two of the Benglas starting offensive linemen (Cappa, Williams) on the list is mouthwatering. Especially for Defensive Player of the Year candidate Chris Jones.

It's still early but 'Burrowhead' just might be too much for Burrow and company with these early advantages.
