Their chemistry and on-field connection have been instrumental in the team’s success, culminating in back-to-back appearances in the AFC Championship Game in the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
During a media session, Ja’Marr Chase was asked about his thoughts on Patrick Mahomes, widely regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

Joe Burrow’s Answer
When Joe Burrow was asked the same question about who’s the best NFL player, he confidently declared that it was Patrick Mahomes.
Burrow acknowledged Mahomes’ outstanding performances and stated that until someone surpasses Mahomes’ remarkable achievements, he remains the one to beat.
Chase and Burrow’s success together has been remarkable. In the 2021 season, they led the Bengals to victory in the AFC Championship Game over the Chiefs, earning them a spot in the Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams.
Although they fell short in the Super Bowl, their performance showcased the immense potential they possess as a duo.
In the following season, the Bengals once again faced off against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to overcome the Chiefs’ formidable challenge and suffered a heartbreaking loss.
The Chiefs went on to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, while the Bengals are regrouping and preparing for the upcoming season.
Both Chase and Burrow have solidified their positions as elite players in the league. Chase’s exceptional receiving skills, speed, and agility make him a nightmare for opposing defenses.
While Burrow has displayed impressive accuracy, poise, and leadership on the field, earning him the respect of his teammates and opponents alike.
With Chase and Burrow at the helm, the Bengals’ future looks promising, and fans eagerly await their return to the gridiron to witness their electrifying performances once again.
