The Kansas City Chiefs hold bragging rights over everybody else in the league, or so it seems.
Being the two-time Super Bowl champions, Andy Reid’s team will look to become the first team to win three Vince Lombardi trophies in a row.
Needless to say, that will be easier said than done, but they have the championship-winning aura of a team that should feel like they have a chance to beat anybody.
Nonetheless, it’s not like they don’t have any legitimate threats in the league.
Per NFL analyst Ric Bucher, they actually have a nemesis: the Cincinnati Bengals.
Talking on FOX Sports’ Speak, Bucher pointed out the fact that the Bengals have actually beaten the Chiefs three out of four times in the Joe Burrow era.

He pointed out that the Bengals beat the Chiefs even when they had a bad defense or when they failed to establish the running game, adding that Zac Taylor has found ways to get wins regardless of the situation.
All teams have an opponent that just matches up better against them; it happens.
This rivalry has been brewing for years now, with both parties talking plenty of smack and the Bengals letting the Chiefs know that they’re not fazed, bothered, or afraid of them.
It’s not easy to win in the National Football League, let alone repeat as champions.
The 2024-25 campaign will determine whether the Chiefs will finally meet their match or if they’ll continue to keep the league in a chokehold.
