Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase decided to add some more fuel to the team’s rivalry with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaking at the team’s mandatory minicamp on Wednesday, Chase was asked by a reporter about the best player in the NFL. While many believe Chiefs signal-caller Patrick Mahomes is at the top of the list, he begs to differ.

"Joe Burrow," Chase said. "Everybody knows that. That’s easy. MVP."

Of course, Burrow wasn’t the one who was named MVP last season. It was Mahomes after he threw for 5,250 yards with 41 touchdowns to 12 interceptions and a 67.1% completion rate. 

But Chase decided to throw some shade at Mahomes after someone said, "Pat," when trying to combat his Burrow comment.

"Who said Pat? Pat who?"

This comes after Burrow said Mahomes is the best quarterback in the league: "I don't think there's an argument."

Chase doesn't care, though, as he has his quarterback above the rest, showing how much he believes in his potential.

It’s no secret the Bengals and Chiefs have a budding rivalry going after meeting in the AFC Championship Game over the past two seasons.

Even in the regular season, Burrow and the Bengals had owned the Chiefs, a perennial Super Bowl contender, until Mahomes was able to defeat them last season in the AFC Championship Game to move on to Super Bowl LVII, where they ended up taking care of the Philadelphia Eagles to win another Vince Lombardi trophy.
