Quick Answer: Fans can livestream the Chiefs vs. Bengals game online with a free trial to DirecTV Stream or fuboTV.
The Kansas City Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals face off on New Year’s Eve today for their second to last regular season game. The Bengals (8-7) will be hungry for a win to improve their chances of making the playoffs, and they just might have enough momentum from a few big wins this month.
