Chiefs 37-3 Bengals - Verdict

Cincinnati decided the AFC seeding meant nothing in comparison to resting their top players, and in the event it made no difference anyway because rivals New England lost to Miami. Instead of a hard-fought match we got Carson Palmer playing just two drives before being pulled and little offense from there on.

Kansas City tried their best to provide Dick Vermeil with the ideal retirement present - a place in the playoffs - but Pittsburgh's win over Detroit (also a 1300 EST kick-off despite what you may have read here) meant the 69-year-old coach had to make do with a sentimental send-off by his home crowd.

Larry Johnson was once again supreme for the Chiefs and his nine games as starter this year have brought a barely-believable total of 1,750 yards - third in the league. He is just one reason why the Chiefs would be a playoff team in most other years, and this year in the other conference.
