Anyone would suggest that the Kansas City Chiefs will be upset about Joe Burrow and the Bengals will have talks with Travis Kelce.
The Cincinnati Bengals started the season looking like one of the most dominant teams in the NFL, but QB Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase energized opponents and won their final five games, making everyone's matchup They finished the year looking like a team they didn't want to be. .
But despite their strong performance last weekend, Cincy needed help to make the playoffs. For Miami to lose to the Jets (which they did), the Chiefs also needed to beat the Broncos (which didn't happen).
Kansas City had almost all of their starters out, resulting in a crushing loss in a game that meant nothing to them. However, given the Bengals' success against the defending champions, some wonder if KC intentionally lost the game to avoid facing the hotly contested Bengals.
Chiefs future Hall of Famer Travis Kelce rejected the idea in no uncertain terms.
“I'm not afraid to fuck anyone,” Travis Kelsey told his brother on the latest episode of his podcast. new heights. “I wanted to get them (Bengals) into the fucking playoffs. I wanted to take down the dragons one by one like Mortal Kombat. I don't want this to happen, we play the lowest seed. Tell me who's the best team. Please.
“AFC, NFC, give me everything, Mortal Kombat style. I'll give them my all and look into all that shit. I'm not scared of single soul men.”
Jason Kelce enjoys infuriating his brother, saying the Chiefs don't want the Bengals in “Barrowhead” (the nickname Bengals fans gave to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Chiefs). It doubled.
“We'll play in the Walmart parking lot. I don't care, we'll have our own game in the offseason and we'll have some serious competition there again,” Travis shot back. “Listen, I love competing against the best players. The Bengals were a fun shitty team to watch over there towards the end of the season. It's a shame they didn't make the playoffs because they didn't make the playoffs. It's even crazier because I could have gone that far, and it's more fun.”
The Chiefs received a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. They will wait for the lowest seed to survive Wild Card weekend.
