Each time that these two teams face off is certainly a treat.
All of their last three matchups have been decided by three points, and the average score of these games is 55.67 points.
With the brilliance of Burrow and Mahomes, this has quickly become an AFC rivalry and looks to continue for years to come.
A Budding Rivalry Among Two Of The League’s Best
Over the years, there have been many great NFL quarterbacks that were a staple of the league for a long time.
Between the Manning brothers, Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, and many more, NFL fans have been treated to elite quarterback play for the last 20+ years.
Many fans were worried that once these players left the league, quarterback play as a whole would be diminished.
Thanks to Mahomes and Burrow, along with Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, and Tua Tagovailoa, just to name a few, it appears that the NFL’s quarterback position is in good hands.
Back to Burrow and Mahomes.
Mahomes has yet to beat Burrow in his career and has to be frustrated with himself, especially since the Bengals account for 20% of his career losses.
If the Chiefs and Bengals were to meet in the playoffs this year, NFL fans across the globe would be treated to another fantastic game.
Let’s hope that they meet again this season.
