The Kansas City Chiefs will have all their playmakers available for Sunday’s big-time showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals. 

One of the biggest games this weekend is no question the AFC showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals. The good news for Kansas City and head coach Andy Reid is that he’ll have all his studs ready to rock.

On Wednesday, the team announced that everyone who had been placed on the COVID list recently has been activated. This includes tight end Travis Kelce and kicker Harrison Butker, who both missed the Week 16 win.

Travis Kelce and Harrison Butker returning for the Chiefs is great news

While the Chiefs were able to destroy the Pittsburgh Steelers last weekend, things are going to be quite more difficult taking on the Bengals. With this game being played in Cincinnati as well, Bengals nation will hope to rattle Patrick Mahomes and Co.

Mahomes isn’t going to be fazed, though, and the fact that Kelce will be back ready to catch balls from him is only going to help the sensational signal-caller play even better. Not only that, but should the Chiefs fail to find the end zone a time or two after a long drive, Reid will have the confidence to send out Butker to drill field goals when his number is called.

As things stand, Kansas City is 11-4 on the year and the team holds the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Despite some struggles early on in the season, Kansas City looks ready to get back to the Super Bowl for the third consecutive campaign.

Kansas City will be ready to make quite a statement come Sunday against the Bengals. Kelce and Butker will be ready to have a say in things.
