Joe Burrow is one of the few NFL quarterbacks with a successful track record against the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes.
That AFC rivalry will be rekindled on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium in the fifth head-to-head matchup between the two quarterbacks. Each of the previous four meetings has been decided by three points – and that includes a pair of dramatic AFC championship games. Burrow is the last quarterback to beat Mahomes in the postseason.
Yet it’s Cincinnati who is looking to avoid an 0-2 start in this week’s matchup. Kansas City has a chance to create distance with their new-aged AFC rival, and Mahomes has a chance to notch another head-to-head victory against Burrow.
Here are the numbers, past matchups, and outlook for the next chapter in the Mahomes-Burrow quarterback rivalry.
