The Kansas City Chiefs are the team to beat in the National Football League, and that will continue to be the case until proven otherwise.

As such, everybody will aim for their crown, all while the fans and analysts try to figure out who’s got the best chance to beat them.

Notably, most people think the Cincinnati Bengals are in the best position to take them down.

Both teams have developed a strong rivalry, and you just can tell that even their players don’t like each other.

With that in mind, and given how close those games have been, NFL analyst Peter King claimed that this has now become a ‘classic rivalry.’

Talking on SiriusXM NFL Radio, King pointed out that the Chiefs and Bengals have squared up six times in less than three calendar years, with the Bengals winning the first three matchups.

Truth be told, each and every single one of these games has been an instant-classic, and the fact that they’ve all gone down to the wire has made this rivalry even more special to watch.

Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes are the two best quarterbacks in the league right now, or at least two of the five best.

Hopefully, we’ll get to watch them go at each other in the playoffs again this season and many more times in the years to come.
