THAT IS WHERE IT ALL BEGINS. GOOD LINE PLAY ALLOWS THE COACHES TO BE AS AGGRESSIVE AS THEY WANT. LET’S HEAD BACK TO KANSAS CITY WHERE SHEREE PAOLELLO IS. SHEREE: THIS IS JOHNNY’S TAVERN AND IT IS A BAR THAT I THINK WILL BE PACKED WITH FOOTBALL FANS TONIGHT. THE BEST NEWS I HEARD YOU AND OLIVIA SAY WAS THAT HAYDEN HEARST IS BACK. THAT IS A SIGH OF RELIEF. WE ARE HAVING SO MUCH FUN OUT HERE TODAY. I GOT TO REUNITE WITH A COUPLE I MET LAST YEAR AT THIS SAME TIME AND THEY ARE A HOUSE DIVIDED. THE HUSBAND IS A KANSAS CITY FAN AND THE WIFE LEADS ORANGE AND BLACK. THIS YEAR THERE IS A NEW CHIEF IF YOU WILL THEY NEWFOUND CONFIDENCE. YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IT BY THE FLAG OUTSIDE THEIR HOUSE BUT INSIDE, THE BENGALS-CHIEFS BATTLE IS ALREADY GROWING. THERE IS A CHIEFS FLAG OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE. WHAT IS GOING ON? >> I HAD TO LET HIM HAVE THAT. SHEREE: RANDY COLE CAME TO CINCINNATI FOR HER UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE AND FELL IN LOVE WITH OUR CITY BUT LIFE TOOK HER TO KANSAS CITY WHERE SHE MET HER HUSBAND, TRENT, DIEHARD CHIEFS FAN. WHEN WE MET DURING LAST YEAR’S PLAYOFF RUN TRENT WAS, LET’S JUST SAY, CONFIDENT. >> FRANKLY, THE BENGALS HAVE NOT BEEN AS GREAT THE LAST FEW YEARS. SHEREE: BUT NOW, AFTER THE WIN TO TAKE US TO THE SUPER BOWL LAST SEASON AND WINS OVER PATRICK MY HOMES THIS SEASON, HE HAS BEEN TAMED UP BY THE TIGERS. >> THE CONFIDENCE LEVEL IS A LITTLE MORE REALISTIC AND IT HAS SHIFTED. THE LAST THREE TIMES THE BENGALS HAVE HAD OUR NUMBER. SHEREE: HER NAILS ARE DONE, HER LUCKY MARBLE IS IN HER POCKET AND VICTORY SHOTS ARE READY. AND AN ORANGE SWEATSHIRT FOR TRENT IS ALREADY ON ITS WAY. >> WE MAKE A COMPROMISE. YOU GET YOUR FLAG ONLY IF YOU WEAR THE ORANGE SWEATSHIRT. >> BUT NOT THIS WEEKEND. SHEREE: I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT RANDY’S HUSBAND TRENT WAS A GOOD SPORT AND HE SAYS IN ALL HONESTY HE HAS A HUGE RESPECT FOR JOE BURROW AND THE TEAM. HE SAID, HE ADMITS THAT KANSAS CITY CANNOT DO WHAT THEY HAVE DONE THE LAST THREE GAMES AGAINST US WHICH IS A MAKE BIG MISTAKES AND HAVE THE TURNOVERS AND PENALTIES IF THEY ARE GOING TO BEAT THE BENGALS THIS SUNDAY. LET’S HOPE THEY DON’T TURN THINGS AROUND. MY COLLEAGUE JOHN LONDON IN CINCINNATI. ANGLES PLAYERS TOOK THE PODIUM ONE MORE TIME BEFORE THEY FLY OUT TO KANSAS CITY TOMORROW. JOHN LONDON IS LIVE OUTSIDE PAYCOR STADIUM WITH THAT STORY. JOHN: EARNED OPTIMISM, YOU HAVE EARNED THE RIGHT TO BE OPTIMISTIC WHEN YOU HAVE WON 10 STRAIGHT. OVERLY OPTIMISTIC WOULD BE A WHOLE OTHER THING. IT IS THE TERRITORY OF THE FAN. THEY ARE LOVING EVERY INCH OF IT RIGHT NOW. FANS LIKE THE ONE OUTSIDE CITY HALL THIS MORNING ALREADY. AND SO ARE THE PLAYERS. >> IT IS EASY TO GET UP FOR A GAME LIKE THIS. THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP, WE HAVE WORKED ALL YEAR. WE POTENTIALLY HAVE TWO MORE GAMES. IT IS EASY TO GET UP FOR A GAME LIKE THIS. JOHN: MAYBE EXTRA FIRED AFTER THE DISS TO THE OFFENSE. >> THESE GUYS CARRY THAT END OF THE GAME AS EXTRA MOTIVATION TO PERFORM WELL. JOHN: IT IS LOCKER ROOM MATERIAL. >> IT DEFINITELY IS. JOHN: EXTRA SAUCE. YOU CAN ASK FOR THAT IF YOU ORDER THE PLAYOFF PATTY. >> MY COUSIN JOSH WORKS THERE AND HE HELPED CRAFT IT AND A SHOUT OUT TO HIM AND FOR DONATING TO MY FOUNDATION. JOHN: THIS FAN WILL NOT BE THERE. HE CANNOT BREAK THE SPELL OF BW THREE. >> THE SAME TABLE AND THE SAME CHAIRS. IT IS ALL SUPERSTITIOUS. MY BUDDY SAID, COME ON OVER TO THE HOUSE TO WATCH AND I SAID I CANNOT. JOHN: THERE YOU HAVE THE KIND OF MINDSET THAT FANS HAVE HEADING INTO THIS BIG WEEKEND. FOR PLAYERS, THE WORDS WE HEAR MOST OFTEN ARE -- EXECUTE THE
