There's been plenty of trash talk between the two sides, especially from Cincy. The Bengals are actually 3-0 against Mahomes when Burrow has lined up under center. This is something plenty of people in Ohio will have in mind leading up to kickoff.
However, the Chiefs are desperate to get back to the Super Bowl and Mahomes is ready to silence his haters. Kansas City was able to take care of business against Jacksonville in the Divisional Round, while the Bengals stunned the Bills, who had been the Super Bowl favorites for months.
This could prove to be a thrilling contest and both sides will give it their all in this one. Millions of eyes will be on Mahomes and Burrow.
These two playmakers have what it takes to record a dominant performance on Sunday. We can't wait to find out who ends up celebrating after a big win.
