Bengals star WR throws shade at Patrick Mahomes
The Bengals vs. Chiefs rivalry is beginning to develop into one of the best in the NFL, and that continued Wednesday when WR Ja'Marr Chase couldn't help but throw some shade at Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes.
Chase was asked who the No. 1 player in the NFL is.
His response: "Joe Burrow. That's easy."
After being told that Burrow's answer was "Pat," he said, "Pat who?"
It's a bold statement to make after Kansas City ended Cincinnati's postseason run last season, defeating the Begnals 23-20 in the AFC Championship Game, but he knows they'll see each other again soon and hopes to get his revenge.
The two teams have met four times since 2021 with every matchup decided by three points.
The Bengals won the first three contests, however, with the Chiefs winning the latest game, which helped them en route to their Super Bowl LVII victory. Thus, Kansas City has all of the bragging rights as of now.
The next installment of the rivalry is already set for Week 17 of the 2023 season. Get your popcorn ready.
There is a strong chance it won't be the only time the Chiefs and Bengals see each other in 2023 if recent history is any indicator.
