The Kansas City Chiefs were trying to gut out a victory in the AFC Championship Game over the Cincinnati Bengals despite several major injuries in the receiving group, Patrick Mahomes hobbling on a bum ankle and Travis Kelce being limited with back issues. The Chiefs got a key stop from their defense courtesy of Chris Jones to get the ball back but had struggled to do much in the fourth quarter.
On a third down, Mahomes scrambled to the sideline as the clock went under 10 seconds. He was comfortably heading out of bounds well short of field goal range, but a late hit from Bengals linebacker Joseph Ossai resulted in 15 extra yards for the Chiefs.
