Mahomes and the Chiefs had never defeated Burrow and the Bengals prior to the 2017 postseason.
The Chiefs failed to defeat Burrow despite having a strong record against the rest of the conference.
The Chiefs were able to secure that victory in the AFC Championship, which helped them go to the Super Bowl, which is fortunate for Mahomes and the Chiefs fan base.
The Chiefs won the championship game, adding another Lombardi Trophy to their collection, and the rest is history.
What will happen this season between the two teams?
In order to compete at their best in the AFC, Burrow and the Bengals have continued to fine-tune their roster by adding essential pieces.
The Chiefs have strengthened their roster after winning the Super Bowl, guaranteeing they can maintain their position at the top.
Fans can already mark this game on their calendars even though the season isn’t scheduled to start for another few months.
