Here's a look at some of the best reactions across the platform:

Certainly not a good look for Apple and the Bengals defense who have struggled to stop anything Chiefs OC Eric Beinnemy is throwing at them.

Saints and Giants fans will likely take great joy in seeing their former cornerback getting torched by Tyreek Hill after he criticized both teams' fan bases this past Monday.

As for the Bengals, they find themselves down 21-10 heading into halftime. If Cincinnati wants any shot at winning, Apple, as well as the rest of the Bengals defense, needs to step up and start applying some pressure on Mahomes if they want any chance at reaching their first Super Bowl since 1988.
