Over the past few seasons, the Chiefs and Bengals have formed a rivalry that you don’t normally see from teams competing in different divisions. But the frequent playoff matchups and key regular season games will do that.
Yet, despite the bulletin-board material we’ve heard from those teams over the years, the respect is undeniable. That was on display following the Chiefs’ division-clinching win against the Bengals on Sunday.
Chiefs stars Travis Kelce and Chris Jones made sure to catch up with Joe Burrow and wish him well on his recovery from wrist surgery. (Warning: Some NSFW language in the video).

Jones also greeted Bengals backup quarterback Jake Browning and told him that he was a warrior.
That was the kind of sportsmanship that NFL fans loved seeing on display.
