It's just not a Cincinnati Bengals playoff game without an inordinate amount of trash talk beforehand, but then Cincinnati mayor Aftab Pureval decided to take things a step further ahead of Sunday's AFC championship game.
The background here is that the Bengals have a 3-0 record Mahomes and the Chiefs since they drafted Burrow, which has made the Bengals and their fans, already flying high from their 27-10 win over the Buffalo Bills last weekend, quite confident about this matchup.Because Burrow has a 1-0 record there, you see., and it's definitely not like Burrow is ahead in the one metric that will undoubtedly be most used to measure their careers when all is said and done, Super Bowl rings.
But you can't let that stop goobers like Pureval from getting their shots in now, especially when it leads to Kansas City partisans getting this mad. That included both Kansas City mayor Quinton Lucas and Mahomes' wife Brittany Mahomes, who responded on Twitter.
