...and I’m already on to Kansas City. I want the Chiefs beaten to a gooey pulp and I want Patrick Mahomes calling State Farm for real; I hope he has collision coverage!
This will be the biggest test for Lou Anarumo all year and it all comes down to disconnecting Mahomes from Travis Kelce. After seeing what the Cincinnati defense did to Derrick Henry I’m not concerned at all about stopping Kansas City’s rushing attack. Mahomes will have to score through the air so it might be time to tighten up coverage and start picking off his passes like Von Bell did last year in the playoffs.
These Burrow and Mahomes games are turning into modern Classics. Much like Namath vs Unitas, Bradshaw vs Staubach, Montana vs Marino or Elway, Peyton Manning vs Tom Brady. There are amazing match-ups in sports that you can't believe happened such as Wilt Chamberlain against Bill Russell or Kareem Abdul Jabbar, or Ali vs Frazier, or Arnold Palmer vs Jack Nicklaus. These Burrow vs Mahomes are modern Classics happening now that will go down as legendary.
As always, I look for both Burrow and Mahomes to play great. The Bengals have won because they haven't given the ball back to Mahomes with time on the clock to make a game winning drive. A Bengals win will come down to that, eating some late game clock so Mahomes doesn't even get a chance to pull off a comeback win. Should be another Classic Game between Burrow and Mahomes, but GO BENGALS.
