Here’s a little more proof of the seriousness of the beef between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs.
As it turns out, elite Chiefs defender Chris Jones spent much of last offseason motivated by Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
Buy Bengals TicketsAppearing on the “New Heights” podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce, Jones had an eye-raising response when asked which Super Bowl means the most to him.
“I think this last one for me personally,” Jones said. “The year before that we played the Cincinnati Bengals and I missed Joe Burrow twice and the motherf—– posted a picture talking about ‘Cartier glasses I can’t even look at you’ and the picture was of me diving looking like a goofball diving for his ankles, I’m like okay.”
Burrow’s social media post apparently compounded with the fact the Bengals had gotten the best of the Chiefs in a handful of matchups to create this scenario for Jones: “My whole offseason I’m training thinking about Joe Burrow. I had them painted pictures of Joe Burrow on the dummies I swear to God.”
Both Jones and Travis Kelce say in the clip that they make sure to keep receipts, which would seem to be true.
The Bengals and Chiefs get another shot at each other in Week 17 on December 31 in Kansas City.
