He then acted like he didn’t know who Mahomes was.
«Who said Pat? Pat who?»
Mahomes definitely listened to Chase and posted a photo of himself on Twitter with his two Super Bowl rings in a clear rebuttal to Chase.
«That’s who,» the tweet read.
The whole debate started Tuesday when Burrow commented on Mahomes and where he ranked among the best quarterbacks in the league.

«I don’t think there’s any argument at this point. It’s Pat until someone has a better year than him,» Burrow said. «He’s the one who has to finish.»
Since Burrow entered the NFL, the Bengals are 3-1 against the Mahomes and Chiefs.
After Kansas City’s 27-24 overtime loss to Cincinnati in January 2022, the Chiefs bounced back in this year’s AFC title game and advanced to Super Bowl LVII. Despite an ankle injury, Mahomes turned in a gusty performance and passed for 326 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for a key first down late that led to the game-winning field goal.
Meanwhile, Burrow finished the game with 270 passing yards and a touchdown, but also threw two interceptions. Burrow was uncomfortable in the pocket for most of the game, with the Chiefs’ defense recording five sacks.
