Patrick Mahomes ‘Hates’ to Compare Rivalry With Joe Burrow to NFL Mammoths Tom Brady And Peyton Manning

The NFL has produced some of the most memorable rivalries in sports history. But something that remains unforgettable is the race between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. With The Sheriff gone, all eyes are on the next such rivalry. Many would consider that Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow could have the next big rivalry. But the Chiefs’ QB flunked the theory.

During the Wednesday media scrum, Patrick Mahomes spoke about the upcoming Week 13 game against the Bengals. A reporter told Mahomes how WR Tyler Boyd has a rivalry similar to Brady and Manning. The Grim Reaper marked respect for the Bengals’ quarterback but denied having such a rivalry.

Patrick Mahomes mentioned, “I have a ton of respect for Joe [Burrow]. I mean, he’s a great football player, but he’s a competitor, like you said. I mean, those are the guys that went into this league; they are guys that compete, and so… I hate to compare to Brady and Manning because they won so much and put up so many stats. I feel like that’s something that you do at the end of your career, When they look back and see all the success that you have.”

“But I know it’s just like a lot of these guys I know I’m gonna play this guy for a long time. He’s a great competitor, so he’s gonna be a great football team for a long time, and we’re going to have games like this,” He added.

Patrick Mahomes may avenge the defeat they faced in the 2021–22 AFC playoffs. But it may look difficult as the Bengals would have a prominent star returning.

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs may have a threat in Ja’Marr Chase

Cincinnati is running strong without their star receiver, Ja’Marr Chase, in the mix. However, the WR would be back ahead of the Bengals’ matchup against the Chiefs. Chase confirmed his availability for the Week 13 game on Wednesday. He is coming off a hip injury that sidelined him for a considerable time.

Ja’Marr Chase skipped going into IR, which could have sidelined him for 4-5 weeks. The WR was ready to return to the game when the Bengals faced the Titans. However, the WR insisted on not feeling comfortable returning from the injury too soon.

Will Patrick Mahomes pull the winning sweep, or will the Bengals have the last laugh? It is subject to witness.
