Joe Burrow turned heads with comments about rivalry with Chiefs

As advertised, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow appeared on the “New Heights” live podcast on Thursday night at the University of Cincinnati with Travis and Jason Kelce.

And as expected, the topic of the rivalry between the Bengals and Travis’ Chiefs came up.

While Burrow was highly complimentary of the Chiefs, he also made sure to point out that the construction of the Bengals is something that should swing head-to-head encounters.

“I don’t know. I think we both work really hard. They have great players, we have great players,” Burrow said, per Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “I think we match up pretty well with them. I think we’re built to beat them. I always appreciate the legendary battles we have. Guys are out there always making plays. Patrick (Mahomes) is always out there making plays. Both teams have big-time defensive lines. It’s a great matchup.”

It’s not a bad politician-esque answer overall, though one doesn’t have to look far on social media platforms for arguments over the comments.

Also not bad, considering Burrow has won three of four against Kelce’s Chiefs so far, with his success in the matchup being what prompted the question in the first place from Jason.
