OLIVIA: GOOD MORNING. HERE WE ARE, DECEMBER FOOTBALL IS UPON US AND THIS WEEKEND AT PAYCOR STADIUM IT IS THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP REMATCH BETWEEN THE BENGALS AND THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS. IT HAS MASSIVE POSTSEASON IMPLICATIONS. IT FEELS LIKE PLAYOFF FOOTBALL ESPECIALLY AFTER ELIZABETH BLACKBURN PRIMED THE JUNGLE WITH A FIERY MESSAGE TO OFF-SEASON TICKETHOLDERS, REMIND THEM THAT KANSAS CITY HAS TO PLAY US IN OUR HOUSE. THAT IS A DIRECT QUOTE FROM THAT EMAIL THAT WAS SENT AND IT IS ONE THAT HAS BEEN CIRCULATING IN THE BENGALS LOCKER ROOM ALL WEEK. IT IS ALSO AN INVITE THAT ANDY REID PROBABLY WILL NOT TAKE LIGHTLY BECAUSE THE BENGALS OWN THE BEST WINNING PERCENTAGE AGAINST ANDY REID IN ALL OF THE LEAGUE. MOST NOTABLY, THE TWO WINS THAT ZAC TAYLOR TALLIED AGAINST HIM LAST JANUARY. DO NOT GET IT TWISTED. THE 39-YEAR-OLD HAS IMMENSE RESPECT FOR THE FUTURE HALL OF FAME COACH THAT HE IS ABOUT TO FACE. >> IT IS A WILLINGNESS TO EVOLVE TO WHERE YOUR PLAYERS CAN DO WILL, GETTING THE MOST OUT OF THEM AND BEING CUTTING-EDGE.

JUJU SMITH-SCHUSTER AND JERRICA MCKENNITT ARE BOTH GOOD TO GO AFTER APPEARING ON THE INJURY REPORT EARLIER THIS WEEK.
