Bengals Chiefs Arrowhead Stadium, 6.30 p.m. on CBS. That's a heck of a Sunday.

Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by Old Trapper Beef Jerky Live in New York City.

We're doing our best to deliver you a heck of a Friday.

My name is Jamie Errott. That is Kyle Brent. Peter Schrager, Jason McCordy. Peter, have we arrived at the point where we have exhausted every angle of these games? Or do you think you're going to unearth something for us today? I feel like we're at a simmering point right now, and I'm ready for the game to start right now. We have the honor and the joy of previewing them for three hours

this morning. All right, time for the lead block. Let's kick it off. Patrick Mahomes has been

fully participating in practice since Wednesday, and he is fully expected to play on Sunday.

That was never the issue. It's to what percentage as to how healthy, how available is he? Well, it looks good in the videos. Meanwhile, Kansas City linebacker, Willie Gaye,

was asked what he thought about the Bengals, referring to the Chief's Home Stadium as Borough.

I'm just excited to be playing football, man. That stuff is just what comes with the game. Like Coach Reed said, we don't do no talking. We just go handle business when it's time to go. What is it about that Bengals offense that maybe impresses you the most? You played it a few times? Nothing. Nothing. Jason, remember that. Nothing impresses him. All right, guys, it's finally here. Well, as Peter said, we have a couple hours still to wait.

It means we have more to unpack.

Bengals Chiefs, lots to talk about, a lot of back and forth, as we just heard. We're kind of blatant ignoring, which is also a backhanded insult or just a blatant insult? We'll talk about it. Complete this sentence. The AFC Championship will be decided by Peter.

Oh, baby, we're here.

This is it.

Cool tracks. The AFC Championship will be decided by Peter. Phyllis! We're here. This is it. Willie Gay says nothing. Nothing presses him. Nothing presses him. Nothing. I think it's going to be that Chief's pass rush. I know that's an odd way to take it when we've got all this week of Mahomes v. Burrow. Tell us why. Who's better? Mahomes, Burrow, who's the king? They haven't been able to get to this guy, Burrow. And I'll tell you what, last week I thought everyone coming in thought this offensive line situation was going to be the storyline with Cincinnati, and they're without Williams, and they're without Lyle Collins, and they held up just fine and that Buffalo pass rush had no answer
