The reigning Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, may have a target on their backs, but Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is not backing down from the challenge. In a recent interview on the New Heights live show with Jason and Travis Kelce, Burrow expressed his confidence in the Bengals’ ability to defeat their AFC rivals.
Despite the Chiefs’ impressive track record, with four AFC titles and three Super Bowl wins in the last five years, Burrow believes that the Bengals are well-equipped to take on the reigning champions. He acknowledged the talent and hard work of both teams but emphasized that the Bengals are “built to beat” the Chiefs.
Notably, the Bengals are the only team to have defeated the Chiefs in the AFC championship game in recent years. This has sparked discussions about whether the Bengals could be the team to pose a real challenge to the Chiefs in the playoffs.
For the Bengals to live up to this potential, Burrow’s health will be a key factor. The quarterback faced injuries in the 2023 season, playing in just 10 games due to a calf strain and wrist ligament tear. However, Burrow has shown his skill and potential, making the Pro Bowl in 2022 and boasting a solid career record of 97 touchdowns and 37 interceptions.
Fans can look forward to an exciting matchup between the Bengals and the Chiefs in the 2024 regular season, when the Bengals are set to visit Arrowhead Stadium. As both teams prepare for the upcoming season, all eyes will be on Burrow and whether he can lead the Bengals to victory against the formidable Chiefs.
