On Sunday, Joe Burrow became the first quarterback to defeat the Patrick Mahomes-led Kansas City Chiefs three straight times, and the Cincinnati Bengals star is gunning for his place as the NFL's best passer.
The Bengals have become the Chiefs' nemesis, defeating them in the AFC Championship game last season and Burrow and company repeated the trick with a 27-24 win at Paul Brown Stadium at the weekend. Despite the defeat, Mahomes remains the betting favourite for the MVP crown, but when it comes to adding another Super Bowl ring to his collection, NFL pundit Colin Cowherd believes the Bengals – and Burrow – have the edge over the Chiefs.
Both Mahomes and Burrow have hugely impressive passer ratings of 105 and 104 respectively, but Cowherd believes Burrow – the 2020 number-one overall pick – has grown into the man for the big occasion and he has crucial advantages over Mahomes and Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen.
