The officiating down the stretch of the AFC championship game is under a microscope.

Cincinnati picked up a first down after the grounding call, and the Chiefs picked up minimal yardage after the extra third-down play. Those are the plays that will be talked about, but the Chiefs were on the receiving end of seemingly raw deals, too. Second, on the play in which Joseph Ossai would enter Bengals infamy, there was an argument that officials missed defensive lineman Trey Hendrickson being held. The result of that conversation was that the third-down play would not count because the clock mistakenly ran off extra time after the second-down play in that series. There was no CIN receiver in the immediate area of the pass. In the fourth quarter alone of Sunday's Bengals vs.

The Chiefs will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl for the third time in Patrick Mahomes' five seasons as starter, but it wasn't easy.

And on a later third down, Mahomes stepped up in the pocket and found Scantling for a [19-yard touchdown](https://www.nfl.com/videos/can-t-miss-play-mahomes-puts-serious-heat-behind-19-yard-td-missile-to-valdes-sc) that gave the Chiefs the lead.

[Cam Sample](https://www.nfl.com/players/cameron-sample/), who had returned to the bench to console his teammate, the focus had already settled on the Chiefs' extraordinary resilience and the Super Bowl to come. Kelce, who had suffered [back spasms](https://www.nfl.com/news/chiefs-tight-end-travis-kelce-back-expected-to-play-in-afc-championship-game-vs-) late last week, was a reliable one.

The Chiefs had been the AFC's dominant team for much of the season -- actually for the last five seasons -- with the league's best offense. But two of their three losses -- to the Bills and the Bengals -- had nearly dented their unbreakable hold on the conference. And to the delight of reporters, it will feature the verbose Kelce brothers, one of whom -- [Travis](https://www.nfl.com/players/travis-kelce/), the Chiefs tight end -- called the mayor of Cincinnati a ["jabroni"](https://twitter.com/AftabPureval/status/1619907004394512384) for [saying](https://twitter.com/AftabPureval/status/1619020031941279744) that Burrow should take a paternity test to prove that he was Mahomes' father because he had beaten the Chiefs in their three previous meetings. In the short term, this AFC Championship -- the third won by the Chiefs in Mahomes' five seasons as a starter -- will be remembered for Ossai's terrible mistake.

But most of the Bengals were ready to stand by Ossai’s side, even batting away questions that they didn’t like in the postgame locker room.
