The Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals rivalry that’s evolved over the past several seasons, especially in the AFC playoff picture, has been palpable.

Burrow’s confidence has never wavered since he entered the league as the No.1 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, and during an appearance on the "New Heights podcast" with Jason and Travis Kelce, he said he feels the Bengals are built to beat Kansas City.
