Patrick Mahomes, still hobbled by an ankle injury, helped set up the game-winning field goal in the closing seconds.
The Chiefs will make their third Super Bowl appearance in four years, helping to avenge last season's loss to the Bengals in the AFC title game.
The Bengals had an opportunity to take the lead, but Burrow's deep pass to Tee Higgins was tipped by Bryan Cook and intercepted by Joshua Williams to give the Chiefs possession at their own 14-yard line with 6:53 left. After a Kansas City punt, the Bengals' next drive ended when Burrow was sacked on third down in the final minute.
He completed 29 of 43 passes for 326 yards and two touchdowns, including a 19-yard pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling that gave the Chiefs a 20-13 lead with 4:15 left in the third quarter.
