The rivalry between Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow and Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is heating up. For the last two years, Burrow and Mahomes have played against each other’s teams in the AFC Championship and won one each. The rivalry has been one-sided since Mahomes has accomplished a lot more than Burrow in the NFL.

However, in the last few months, some people have put forth the narrative that Bengals QB Joe Burrow is better than the Chiefs’ two-time league MVP Patrick Mahomes. Just a few months ago, ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky and former Bengals signal-caller Carson Palmer both claimed that Burrow is a better quarterback than Mahomes, which led to a lot of backlash.

And now, Bengals’ wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has stirred the pot by claiming Joe Burrow is the best player in the league while mocking the Chiefs QB. During the Bengals’ mandatory training camp, Chase addressed the media and was asked who is currently the best player in the NFL. Chase didn’t mince his words when he answered the question.

“Joe Burrow,” Chase said. “Everybody knows that. That’s easy. MVP.” Furthermore, after the reporter told Chase that Burrow picked Patrick as the best player in the league, Chase replied, “Who said Pat? Pat who?”.

Ja’Marr Chase was obviously supporting his best friend and teammate when he said that Joe Burrow is the best player in the league. But his statement has caused a massive debate on social media.

Many people bashed Chase for mocking the Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes but the Dallas Cowboys legend and the Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens wholly agreed with the Bengals wideout.

“I have no problem with that answer, the question was #1 player in the league, not #1 QB. ??‍♂️ #justmy2cents,” Terrell Owens wrote on Twitter about Chase claiming that Burrow is the best player in the NFL.

Terrell Owens once infamously cried back in 2008 while defending his QB, Tony Romo, after the Cowboys lost to the New York Giants in a playoff game. So, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that he’s backing another wide receiver to defend his quarterback.

Nonetheless, the Chiefs and Mahomes just got another bulletin board material that they can use as a motive to defeat the Bengals in their week 17 matchup in the upcoming NFL regular season.
