Joe Burrow reveals his opinion of Patrick Mahomes ahead of rivalry showdown

Nick Wright explains why he believes Patrick Mahomes is the ‘best quarterback ever and that Tom Brady is the GOAT.’

Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow will renew their young rivalry Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs face the Cincinnati Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium. 

They are two young stars of the league. Mahomes is perched higher in the NFL's quarterback hierarchy due to his three Super Bowls, but Burrow has had his moments. 

Burrow, one of the top college football stars of all time entering the NFL, had his crowning moment as a pro in Kansas City a few years ago, leading the Bengals to the Super Bowl in the 2021 season after upsetting Mahomes and the Chiefs in the AFC championship with a shocking 27-24 overtime win.

Burrow also won the regular-season rematch the following season by the same score in Cincinnati. 

But Burrow knows wins against Mahomes can be hard to come by.

The Chiefs avenged the 2021 loss with a last-second 23-20 victory in the 2022 AFC championship game. Burrow was out of commission with a wrist injury the last meeting between the two teams in December 2023, when the Chiefs won 25-17.

Now, Mahomes stands in the way of Burrow improving his team to 1-1.

He knows what he's up against. 

"Pat is one of one," Burrow said. "He's really exceptional at extending the play, going on the move, trying to buy that extra tick for guys that get open and really understands the game. So, it's always a big challenge going up against him," Burrow said.
