Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes have seen a lot of each other in recent years, with the players having battled during the last two AFC Championship games.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Burrow is seen as one of the elite pivots in the NFL, but the 26-year-old says no QB in the league currently matches up to the Kansas City Chiefs superstar.
“I don’t think there’s any argument right now, it’s Pat,” Burrow told reporters on Tuesday. “Until somebody has a better year than he’s had, he’s the one to knock off.”
Mahomes is, of course, a two-time Super Bowl winner with the Chiefs and has been named the NFL MVP twice. And while Burrow and the Bengals got the best of the Chiefs in the 2022 AFC Championship, the Cincinnati star still doesn't see himself as the "best in the world" until he can consistently top Mahomes' accomplishments.
It's Burrows' main motivation year in and year out.
“The goals never really change for me — they never really have,” Burrow said. “The top of the mountain is always the goal personally and team-wise. Even coming into the league, that was my goal. And I wouldn’t say that has changed year-to-year.”
