Since the emergence of Joe Burrow, the Kansas City Chiefs, and Cincinnati Bengals have developed quite a rivalry.

Heading into the 2023 AFC Championship, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs were 0-3 against Burrow.

However, the Chiefs were able to narrowly escape that game with a victory, leading to their eventual Super Bowl win.

Recently, the Bengals acquired Orlando Brown in free agency, taking him away from the Chiefs.

Brown has been noted as one of the league’s best offensive linemen and will be greatly missed by the Chiefs.

Travis Kelce has recently commented on this situation, saying that “it hurts my soul” to see Brown leave the team.

This statement came on the most recent episode of Kelce’s podcast.

When the Kelce brothers speak on their podcast, the world seems to listen.

After Travis’ comments, fans from both teams made their opinions heard on this matter.

it hurts my soul that the chiefs were too cheap to pay the man!

This fan used Kelce’s words against him and is frustrated with the Chiefs for not re-signing Brown.

Pay him then

Another fan agreed and was confused why the Chiefs didn’t end up re-signing Brown.

While many Chiefs fans were hurt and confused by this decision, the same cannot be said for Bengals fans.

Many around the league have pointed to the Bengals as one of the best teams in the league.

This fan agrees, calling the Bengals the “king of the AFC.”

There are still several months until the 2023 NFL season kicks off.

It feels great knowing we’ve officially risen to rivals of the Chiefs https://t.co/0r8i6bDkgV

However, if these fan comments are any indication, the rivalry between the Bengals and the Chiefs will likely pick up right where it left off.
