The Bengals, the No. 3 seed in the AFC, have owned the Chiefs, the No. 1 seed, in the three meetings since Cincinnati trotted out its cocksure, victory-cigar-smoking quarterback Joe Burrow.
Burrow, who was selected first overall in the 2020 draft, is not just 3-0 against the Chiefs and their superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but he also has thrown for 982 yards, with eight touchdown passes and just one interception in those games.
But a Bengals win Sunday, with Burrow playing well, should elevate the Cincinnati quarterback into the best-in-the-NFL argument, perhaps even supplanting Mahomes. Mahomes needs to apologize to no one about his 9-3 career playoff record. He has an astounding 30 TD passes to just seven INTs and owns a 106.2 rating.
Burrow sounded more confident this week about the team around him than about himself when comparing this team to the group that lost the Super Bowl to the Rams last year.“We’re a more complete team now,’’ Burrow said.
